Join Atoosa Sepehr and director Chris White for a conversation about Atoosa's experience having her story transformed from her own words into a written play and, finally, a full theatrical production. There will be time for a Q&A and an opportunity for Atoosa to sign copies of her book, which will be available to purchase onsite. 

ABOUT FROM A PERSIAN KITCHEN

Author and photographer Atoosa Sepehr offers not just mouthwatering traditional Iranian recipes, but also her own sumptuous photographs of both her food and the people and landsapes of Iran.

Born and brought up in Iran, Atoosa came to work in the UK in 2007, but she never left behind the wonderful flavours of her family and childhood. Cooking these dishes for her family and friends over here has given her the passion to share the authentic, home cooked Persian cuisine with an international readership. The book contains traditional recipes handed down the generations, but converted to fit into Atoosa's busy life. They are delicious and easy to prepare, using ingredients you can get in any supermarket.

From a Persian Kitchen is an impressively practical recipe book, but it is a photographic celebration of an entire country, too.
