    persian sundays growing up with persian flavours influenced my style of cooking throughout my career. it is all about sharing and enjoying food together as much as preparing it. I will be cooking my interpretation of persian cuisine with some dishes I have learned from my mom and grandmother. spending most summers during my childhood in iran was always special to me. i loved spending hours sitting in front of a pile of green beans and herbs to clean for next days dinner, with my grandma. i have always admired her passion to prepare many different dishes for one evening for family and friends. if you like to join please give me a call or fill out our form and I will get back to you as soon as possible. merci yuma
