Pary Baban left her homeland of Kurdistan at a young age. She grew up watching her grandma and aunties cook and associates cooking with love, laughter and memories of her family. On her journey away from home, she picked up recipes as she travelled from village to village and this love of her collected recipes inspired her to open a restaurant called Nandine in London. Much-loved by the community and critics alike, the restaurant has gone from strength to strength, even opening a second branch. This is Pary's first book.
