It was an amazing evening of wonderful food and company. We got to talk with Greg and his co author Lucy Malouf about the food and their journey around Persia. 

I only took a few photos as I was busy enjoying the food and conversation, this salad was especially beautiful as well as being delicious and refreshing.

The rest of the menu was as follows:

Sabzi – Mixed herbs and soft white cheese with fresh lavash bread

 Eshkeneh – Persepolis onion soup with potatoes, fenugreek and soft-poached eggs

Mahi-e mast-gerdu – Yoghurt baked fish with walnut–herb crumbs

Duck Breast with pomegranate glaze and ‘Fesenjun’ sauce

Chelow – classic Persian rice

Salad-e Shirazi

Zoolbia – Crunchy fritters with spiced pistachio sugar, ice cream and an orange and pistachio syrup

I went away inspired to try some different flavours in my cooking

Many thanks to Greg , Lucy, Sarah Canet and Judy Joo for a wonderful evening (and my fellow guests of course)
