SUMMARY:Iranian Cookery Class with Raha | Veg Friendly | LONDON |Pop Up
DESCRIPTION:Chef Raha will teach you some of her favourite Iranian dishes followed by a sit down meal. Warm & easy\, like being with family!\n\n\nABOUT THE CUISINE \nIranian cuisine comes from the Middle East and Central Asia\, shaped by a rich history of Persian culture\, regional diversity\, and trade along the Silk Road. It combines fresh herbs\, grains\, legumes\, fruits\, nuts\, and spices to create balanced and aromatic dishes. Meals are hands-on\, social\, and meant to be shared\, with signature dishes like Polo Shoshtari\, Nahavandi Aubergine Stew\, and Gilani Sour Kebab highlighting the warmth\, community\, and culinary creativity of Iranian food culture. \n \nABOUT THE CHEF  \nA message from our Chef Raha: \n“I am Raha and I come from Nahavand\, a small city in the centre of Iran. In the UK\, you have English\,Scottish\, Welsh and Irish people. In Iran\, we have Turkish\, Arab\, Kurdish and Lorish people. I am Lorish. When I was nine\, my mum went to work and didn’t have time to cook\, so I cooked for her. From a young age\, I would change recipes. I still do! My children ask me what a dish is called\, but I have often just created it\, so it does not have a name! Food is very important in my country. We consider food to be part of the joy of life;it is not just for survival. A meal should not only be the taste\, it should be how it looks\, how it smells and how it feels. I arrived in the UK in January 2024 with my husband and two daughters. At first\, I was worried about everything\, but I have found that British people are very kind. Someone referred me to Migrateful\, and here I am today. I want to share my country’s delicious recipes.

Warm & easy\, like being with family!\n\n\nABOUT THE CUISINE \nSyrian cuisine is a vibrant reflection of the country’s rich history and cultural diversity. Fresh herbs\, spices\, grains\, and vegetables are combined with slow-cooked stews\, rice dishes\, and freshly baked breads to create meals full of flavour and heart. From zesty salads to comforting stews and aromatic rice\, Syrian food is made to bring people together\, celebrating generosity\, hospitality\, and the joy of sharing home-cooked meals. \n \nABOUT THE CHEF  \nA message from Chef Faten: \n“My name is Faten\, I am from the Syrian city of Homs. I was born in Homs and lived there all my life. Homs is famous for Palmyra\, which is an ancient city dating back to the Neolithic period. \nI am married with three children and I am a housewife. I have been living in the UK for three and a half years. \nI enjoy reading children’s stories which helps me with my English. In Syria I enjoyed playing tennis. \nMy Mum taught me to cook after I married. I married when I was young. I used to call my Mum to get her to help me with recipes. But sometimes when she wasn’t home\, I had to cook by myself. I remembered ingredients and the taste and I experimented until I was happy. \nI enjoy working with Migrateful because I have made new friends and I like cooking and trying different foods.” \n \n\n\n\nON THE MENU (subject to change): \n\nMaagdat Homs (Aubergine Stew) | Vegetarian; Milk\nMulukhiyah (Chicken and Mallow Leaf Stew) | Meat (Chicken); Milk\, Tree Nuts (Almonds)\nThe Best Chicken Shawarma and Fried Potato Shawarma | Meat (Chicken) or Vegetarian; Gluten (Wheat)\, Milk\, Sulphites\nToum (Addictive Garlic Sauce) | Vegetarian; Milk\nRiz Bi Sharieh (Rice Pilaf with Buttery Vermicelli) | Vegetarian; Gluten (Wheat)\, Milk\nTabbouleh (Fresh Herb and Bulgur Salad) | Vegan; Gluten (Wheat)\n\nThis menu contains meat (chicken) but is vegetarian-friendly (5/6 dishes are meat-free or have meat-free filling options).
