About this Event

ABOUT THE CUISINE

Iranian cuisine is renowned for its aromatic herbs, delicate spices, and beautiful balance of sweet and sour flavours. From rich stews like Fesenjan to vibrant yoghurt dishes and saffron-scented rice, every dish is crafted with care, colour, and generosity. Iranian food is deeply social, with meals shared in warm, communal gatherings — a celebration of heritage, hospitality, and connection.

ABOUT THE CHEF

A message from chef Ladan:

“My name is Ladan and I come from Tehran, the capital of Iran. I have always loved to cook, and, of course, to eat. My mother was my first teacher, but I also learnt from my grandmother and my aunts as we all lived in a multi-generational home; always cooking, eating and celebrating together. I love to cook with lots of fresh herbs, and these make Iranian dishes so special. I make delicious food for myself, my family and friends - and my friends are always inviting me to cook for them.

I am a very creative person, so I love to make my dishes look beautiful. Presentation in Iranian cooking is very important and I will teach you to use ingredients to make the dishes look appealing and for your guests to look forward to. I really care about my health, and believe that the food we eat is directly related to our health - so preparing food that is nutritious as well as delicious is really important to me. I look forward to sharing my tasty, healthy food with you.

I love to practise yoga, to meditate and study astrology. I also like to keep fit and I love music, so I will often have music playing whilst I am cooking. It makes me feel happy, and I hope I can share some Iranian music with you! Dancing is a passion, so if you come to my cookery classes, I might teach you some Iranian dance moves!”.

Join Ladan’s hands-on, social cookery class in London to learn to make authentic Iranian dishes — and experience the flavours and traditions refugees bring to the UK.

THE CLASS FORMAT

Our cookery classes are family-style - meaning everyone works together to prepare the dishes as a team.

While you’ll be asked to choose one dish to focus on, you’ll have the opportunity to move around the kitchen, help with other dishes, and learn from each recipe. It’s a fun, social, and collaborative way to cook! At the end of the class, you’ll sit down with the chef, class facilitator and volunteers to enjoy the delicious meal you’ve created together.
