"Sabrina Ghayour's Middle-Eastern plus food is all flavour, no fuss - and makes me very, very happy." ~ Nigella Lawson

Sabrina Ghayour is an Iranian, self-taught home cook turned chef, cookery teacher and food writer. She made her name hosting the hugely popular 'Sabrina's Kitchen' supper club in London, specializing in Persian and Middle Eastern flavours, and went on to be named the Observer's Rising Star in Food.

Her award-winning debut, Persiana, is a worldwide bestseller, and her follow-ups Sirocco, Feasts, Bazaar, Simply, Flavour and Persiana Everyday were Sunday Times bestsellers.
