Sabrina Ghayour

Sabrina Ghayour (born 5 January 1976) is a British-Iranian chef, food writer and author. She is the host of the supper club ‘Sabrina's Kitchen’ and released her first cookbook, Persiana, in May 2014.

Early life Sabrina Ghayour was born in Tehran, Iran, and moved to west London with her mother at the start of the 1979 Iranian revolution.

Career After completing her education, Ghayour was employed by restaurateurs such as Ken Hom and worked in corporate catering in the City of London for around fifteen years. Although some recipes in the book are authentic, some draw inspiration from the Middle East and combine flavours and ingredients of the region with produce available in supermarkets everywhere. Persiana spent nine weeks on best-seller lists and won The Observer Food Monthly 2014 Best New Cookbook award in October.

Ghayour then published Sirocco (2016) and Feasts (2017). Her fourth book, Bazaar – Vibrant Vegetarian Recipes, was published in 2019.
