cooking classes
In addition to my popular Iranian Cooking Class, I also run Mediterranean Brunch and Meze & Middle Eastern Aperitivo cooking classes. These delicious and hands on classes are a fun and relaxed experience, suitable for all levels of expertise.
Please consult the list of upcoming classes below or get in touch.
Rome food tours
Come explore Roman food with me! My classic Rome food tour usually takes place in a neighborhood with an incredibly rich culinary history. I will tell you about the historical anecdotes and geographical curiosities that have shaped the micro-cuisine of Rome while tasting everything from cream-filled buns for breakfast, to seasonal vegetables and traditional dishes for lunch and many other snacks, ending with dessert, usually gelato.
Consult upcoming tours or get in touch.
photography
I photograph editorial projects (such as cookbooks) and commercial projects that require an editorial style (such as hôtellerie and lifestyle brands). Among my brilliant clients have been: Thames & Hudson, Murdoch Books, Condé Nast Traveller, Corriere della Sera, Slow Food Editore, Prestel and Pellicano Hotels.
