A Chef’s Journey through Persia with Saraban authors Greg and Lucy Malouf

Saraban is an unforgettable culinary journey through modern-day Persia. Following ancient spice trails, Greg and Lucy discover a land of generous hospitality, of tea-houses, mosques and caravanserais. They meet pistachio farmers and toffee makers, saffron growers and boat builders, eat in exotic restaurants, bustling bazaars and tiny soup kitchens and are invited time and again into the homes of people they meet along the way.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, Saraban offers a unique and remarkable window into a world steeped in history and tradition, and a comprehensive introduction to the delights of Persian cuisine. Master of Middle Eastern cooking, Greg Malouf and award-winning writer, Lucy Malouf, will be visiting Made in Camden on Thursday 10 February for an evening with the Iran Heritage Foundation. Greg will give a talk about Persian cuisine whilst Lucy will relive their journey and illuminate their experiences. The talk with be illustrated by a collection of photographs taken for the book and whilst travelling around modern-day Persia.

A selection of canapés inspired by Saraban will be prepared by Made in Camden's Head Chef, Josh Katz.
