Dear Sirs,
I am based near London in the UK and was wondering whether you could possibly help me with a query.
I was watching a cookery programme recently. In it Gary Rhodes, one of our TV chefs, was exploring regional Indian cuisine. The programme also featured Parsi food. Being naturally greedy, I was fascinated by it. Mrs. Bhikoo Manekshaw explained some of the finer points of Parsi food and culture and mentioned a collection of recipes by her and perhaps others, possibly published by yourselves. As far as I remember the title of the collection was “1000 Millennium Recipes”. Would you know of it and if so, are there any copies available for sale?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Excellent work, I was wondering when the DPA would join the dotcom age. Loads of information on the community and DPA activities. Now if someone could also put up the entire DPA member directory online that would be a big help to some of us whose hearts are in Delhi but are now based elsewhere.
Maybe you could ask people to register their details on the site to avoid too much re-work by the site administrators?
delhiparsi said
Thank you Mehernosh, for your appreciation of our website.
We have considered putting up the names and contact details of our members, but decided against it keeping in mind the privacy of our members and the risk of the contact details getting onto annoying spam email lists and unwanted sales calls.
However, if at some point of time we do put up our directory in a secure manner, I will let you know first. And if meanwhile you need the updated contact details of anyone here, write to us and we’ll connect you to them.
Regards

Congratulations on developing a excellent website to educate the youngsters on our religion. Great Work. can we incorporate soft copies of FED NEWSLETTER, Jame-jamshed etc. on the website.
>> DelhiParsis Webmaster: Thank you for your compliments Mr. Bodhanwala. Your suggestion of incorporating other Parsi newsletters like FED Newsletter is great, but there are ownership/copyright issues which come in the way of us doing so. However, I will explore the options.
Meanwhile, you can read Jam-e-Jamshed online here http://www.jamejamshedonline.com/

while searching for parsi food recipe in google ,i got to see this site.i must admit this site is very informative for people like me who does not belong to your comunity.
i have one question to ask- please tell me any joint where they serve parsi food in delhi .
excellent job and best of luck for future.
>>DelhiParsis Webmaster’s Note: Thank you Swati for your compliments and encouraging words about our website.
As for Parsi food, there is no “only Parsi cuisine” restaurant in Delhi. But some restaurants at the Taj, and Basil n Thyme in Santushti do have a couple of Parsi dishes on their Menu.
However, there are some Caterers in the NCR who do make Parsi food. If you like, write to me separately at delhiparsis at gmail dot com and I will give you their contact details.
David St Vincent said
I’m researching a food book for a well-known publisher. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place or places in the world to enjoy Parsi food? I’m keen to increase awareness of this influential yet little-known cuisine. Ideally they should be open to the public, including non-Parsis. I’m thinking of restaurants or cafés but any suggestions would be welcome.

Dear all,
Please find some time from your busy schedules and visit this link above.
I have never before taken this active interest in religious affairs, leaving such matters to our better peers, such as yourselves.
However the recent additions, especially the exterior additions, to the Iranshah Temple are in such poor style and workmanship, that it is appalling and distressful we could do this at our Vatican……….if we do not act in this matter ……….I leave this to your better judgement, but the effect will be lasting, and future generations who visit Udvada will say “have our Parsis seen places like the Vatican ………how could they allow this to happen at Udvada?
There can be no controversy here, this is so degrading to our holiest site, it should move the most disinterested to action.
Please intervene.
Sincerely,
Geve

Hi,
I must Congratulate you as you did a great job by throwing open this website.
Persons like me who wish to know about your community will be surely benefitted.
Some years back, when I was a student I went to Darre Meher to gather knowledge about your culture & Religion and was furiously welcomed by an old man at the gate whom I think would have died right now (and if it is this, may his soul rest in peace).
I then somehow managed to entered inside sir Dinshaw Building and met a cook who happens to be a Hindu but I was so thirsty to know about this religion that I started asking him many things to which his reply was as that the Zorastrian Religion is a mere illusion & the place is only a meeting place of all Paisewallahs & BANIYAS.
I was knowing this much that I am not supposed to enter or even walk near the Agiary for being a Non-Parsi, but suddenly a lady came in an ambassador car with a young girl and without thinking that I may be a young researcher and even not bothering me to ask anything, she shouted upon me as if I was a begger…..!!!
Infact I was in my Early Law Graduation years and was wishing to work for the contributions of this great community but that old lady did all that which was against her religion and teachings of Holy Zarthustra.
Now I have grown as a Lawyer in Delhi High Court but has the same imporessions of this community what that lady left upon me in 2002.

Sahab Shabbir Baboosahab.
