Still, I did not feel deprived when I got to work on some of the other dishes. Ghayour’s recipes are always full of taste. In her brilliant book, Bazaar, she sometimes got carried away by her love of rose harissa. In Simply, many of the dishes I attempted had in common preserved lemons, tahini and the zest and juice of a plump lime.

The book is subtitled ‘easy, everyday dishes’, and for most of the recipes that is true. We did have one disaster – the ‘Tahdig e Makaroni’ looked fantastic in the book, a mince sauce encased in a spaghetti mould, but was impossible to get right. We ended up with something that looked like spaghetti Bolognese, but did not taste as good. From ‘Traditions with a Twist’ I started with butternut borani as this is one of my favourite side dishes. I usually make it with spinach so was intrigued by the chance to make it with a squash. This is the second cookbook by Sabrina Ghayour that I have bought. While ‘Persiana’ (as the title suggests) is specifically about Iranian food, this book is more Persian and Turkish (and other cuisines) inspired cooking, often adapted to suit the availability of ingredients in Europe, and to be straightforward to prepare and cook. Bazaar is a colourful, flavourful and satisfying celebration of vegetable dishes, designed to suit every occasion and every palate. The magic of this cookbook is that you won't feel like anything is missing, with dishes full of easy-to-achieve flavours and depth that would win over even the most die-hard carnivore.
