Welcome to the weekend.
As Kayhan Life moves into the spotlight, we are regularly asked if we are affiliated with the government-backed newspaper of the same name, in Iran. As those of you who know us well are fully aware, the answer is a categorical no. For those who are newer to our content, you’ll find the answer in our Video Of The Week, which outlines our newspaper’s long and distinguished history.

If you’re feeling peckish, our Treat this week is Mast o Khiar – an iconic dish, which just happens to be wonderfully healthy.
