Some cooking programs on Iranian stations present recipes for foreign cuisine, such as Italian and French.

The ban is seen as part of a nationalistic campaign increasingly pushed by Iran's government in recent years.

Pizza, pasta and decadent Western fast foods like hamburgers and hot-dogs are popular in Iran, and Tehran boasts many infidel restaurants that serve Western or Asian food.
