Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
|
Better known for his defiance on Iran's nuclear programme, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Tuesday revealed he was a handy cook who prepares "delicious" food and regrets not spending more time at home.
In a television interview aimed at showing his personal side, Ahmadinejad made no mention of Iran's disputes with the West and instead portrayed himself as a hardworking husband who only leaves his job in the small hours.
"Before (I became president) I used to do the grocery shopping. Now sometimes I help in the kitchen and I know how to make all the Iranian food," Ahmadinejad said.
Pressed by the interviewer for more details, Ahmadinejad continued.
"Of course what I make is delicious -- ask everyone who has eaten it! I can make all the different kinds of soups and Iranian stews," said the president.
Ahmadinejad, who has been known for his ability to work hard, said he is often at his desk by 5:30 am and sometimes does not leave until after midnight.
"I used to visit my relatives more but now I do so less. I see them when they are all in one place, but I regularly visit my mother and when I visit her the rest come to see me."
But like almost all Iranian politicians, Ahmadinejad's private life remains a closely guarded secret, and his wife, two sons and daughter are rarely seen in public.

伊朗總統(tǒng)默哈默德?艾哈邁迪-內賈德向來以在伊朗核問題上態(tài)度強硬而聞名。而內賈德在本周二透露，他的“廚藝”不錯，能做一手“好菜”，并遺憾自己不能在家多呆些時間。
在一個旨在展現(xiàn)其私人生活面的電視采訪中，內賈德沒有提及伊朗與西方國家（在核問題上的）糾紛，而是將自己描述成了一個勤勞的丈夫，不過這位勤勞的丈夫大部分時間在工作。
內賈德說：“當總統(tǒng)之前，我常去雜貨鋪購物。現(xiàn)在，我有時會去廚房幫幫忙，而且我會做各式的伊朗食物。”
在主持人的追問下，內賈德繼續(xù)說起了其中的細節(jié)。
他說：“我的廚藝確實不錯——去問問嘗過的人就知道！我會做各式的湯和伊朗燉菜。”
內賈德總統(tǒng)以努力工作而著稱。他說自己經常工作到凌晨5點半，有時到了半夜才離開辦公室。
他說：“過去我經常走走親戚，現(xiàn)在走的少了。我會在他們聚在一起時去看望他們，不過我經常去看我母親，這個時候，其他親戚會過來看我。”
與伊朗其他政治人物一樣，內賈德的私生活一直受到嚴密保護，他的妻子、兩個兒子和女兒很少在公共場合露面。
