Persiana Everyday

Product Information

In more recent times, she met and married her husband, Stephen, who brought two young boys into Ghayour’s life. Not an authentic Persian cooking, just another cook, specially if you are after a book for cold salads. Mix together the yoghurt with the spices, some lemon juice, and olive oil then roast it in a hot oven for 10 minutes. Persiana was Ghayour’s nickname in her early cooking days but now two of her cookbooks carry this name. Tamarind, balanced with sugar – or honey – gives a dish such a marvellously sweet and sour flavour and it works really well with vegetables.

Collectively they contain my most frequently used recipes and I know the newest addition will bring pleasure to my table. Designed to ensure maximum flavour with the greatest of ease – including no-cook, quick-prep, quick-cook and one-pot dishes, Persiana Everyday is full of generous, inviting and delicious recipes to cook again and again for family and friends. Madeleine has lived half her life in South Africa and the other in London which has widened her experiences of multiple cultures, languages and cuisines. Persiana author Sabrina Ghayour, who here delivers a collection of recipes from the Middle East and its environs, is a virtuoso of approachable, weeknight-friendly cooking.

Chef Sabrina Ghayour's new recipes deliver maximum flavour with the greatest of ease - perfect for busy lives. Persiana Everyday is therefore a collection of recipes that she uses in her own kitchen to get dinner on the table for a range of ages and preferences, the same dilemma any family faces. These recipes will satisfy your taste buds whether you are cooking for one or two, a family or a meal for friends.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. She is a die-hard Francophile – speaking French helps tremendously – but put her anywhere and she is happy.Marinating chicken in yoghurt may be familiar to those who enjoy a tandoori chicken – the yoghurt acts as a tenderiser – but may not have tried it with fish. My fridge was empty so I quickly paged through Persiana Everyday to find a few recipes that would be very quick to prepare and provide a balanced meal. One of my all-time favourite Ghayour recipes, which I have made so often it is impossible to quantify, is aubergines in tomato and tamarind sauce.
