I grew up in an Iranian household, where cooking was a three generation affair. After spending countless hours with my grandmother and mother in the kitchen I found I picked up on some of their skills.
Add this to the fact that I've lived all over the world, I've learned to create my own style drawn from my family and the many global culinary experts I have met along the way.
