Kamran Sharareh

In addition to being a transplanted Iranian himself—with a BA in business and marketing, a BS in business education, and an MA in business administration, all obtained in the United States—Kamran Sharareh has been teaching Persian cooking as “Chef KShar” for the past five years—two and a half of them online (www.kshar.net). Realizing that many young people of Persian descent know little of their own heritage, their partners know even less, and that no real solution existed, Kamran Sharareh decided to create it. His successful YouTube videos and DVDs on Persian cooking (generously laced with relationship advice) have garnered wildly enthusiastic comments and requests from his many viewers.
