Iranian Cookery Class with Fatima|LONDON|Cookery School

ABOUT THE CUISINE

Iranian cuisine is rich, diverse, and steeped in history, blending fragrant spices, fresh herbs, and a balance of flavours that vary by region. Fatima’s dishes celebrate the heart of Iranian home cooking, from the rice-heavy meals of the north to the spice- and seafood-focused dishes of the south. Expect aromatic stews, herb-packed frittatas, and vibrant salads that reflect Iran’s culinary heritage.

ABOUT THE CHEF

 A message from chef Fatima:

“My name is Fatima and I am from Iran. I came to England in 2022 with my husband and my six year old twin boys. We left everything behind in Tehran to come here. In Iran, I studied food science at university and worked for a medical company and then became a nail technician. I didn’t start seriously cooking until I got married. It was then that I fell in love with cooking. I love experimenting with food. My favourite ingredient is saffron – I use it in lots of dishes – rice, ice cream, cake, sweets and even tea! I love the diversity of Iranian food – every city has its own local dishes. 

In the north, we grow a lot of rice, so you’ll find this on every menu. In the south, seafood and spices feature. Meat and chicken are popular everywhere. By sharing these dishes, I hope to recreate fond memories I have of Iranian food and culture. Iranian people are very hospitable. I’m happy to welcome you to my class, to give you a taste of the country and people.”

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.
