Sabrina Ghayour (born 5 January 1976 in Tehran, Iran) is a British-Iranian chef, food writer and author.[1] She is the host of the supper club ‘Sabrina's Kitchen’ and released her first cookbook, Persiana, in May 2014.[2]
Early life
Sabrina Ghayour was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to west London with her mother at the start of the 1979 Iranian revolution.[3]
Career
After completing her education, Ghayour was employed by restaurateurs such as Ken Hom and worked in corporate catering in the City of London for around fifteen years.[3]
Ghayour teaches Persian and Middle Eastern classes at cookery schools. She has worked as a consultant on menu and product development for corporate firms, retail brands, airlines, caterers and supermarkets.[citation needed]
Ghayour's debut cookbook, Persiana, was released in May 2014. It covers the food and flavours from the regions around the Southern and Eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.[4] Although some recipes in the book are authentic, some draw inspiration from the Middle East and combine flavours and ingredients of the region with produce available in supermarkets everywhere.[citation needed] Persiana spent nine weeks on best-seller lists and won the Observer Food Monthly 2014 Best New Cookbook award in October.[5]
Ghayour then published Sirocco (2016) and Feasts (2017). Her fourth book, Bazaar – Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes, was published in 2019.
