Iraniain Cookery Class with Sahar|London Training Class

Our talented new cohort of Migrateful chefs are wrapping up their initial training and getting ready to hold their first cookery classes to the public.

This training class will be led by Chef Sahar from Iran at the Migrateful Cookery School in Clerkenwell, London.

Please note, during these training classes, we will be testing the dishes, and how the class runs. Think of it like a technical rehearsal at the theatre. This means it may run for longer than a normal class and involve some stop/starting. Our Chef Development team will also be present to guide and observe, along with volunteers who will help support the chef, and we will ask for your feedback at the end of the class.

A sample menu of the dishes that will be taught includes:

• Kalam Polo Shirazi (Meatballs, Cabbage and Rice) | Meat (Lamb); None
• Ash Reshteh (Bean and Noodle Soup) | Vegetarian; Gluten, Milk
• Salad Fasl | Vegetarian; Eggs
• Freny (Cardamon Milk Pudding) | Vegetarian; Milk, Tree Nuts
• Khorak Maygo (Sauteed Prawns)| Fish (Prawns); Crustaceans, Tree Nuts
• Kashk Bademjan (Aubergine Dip) | Vegetarian; Gluten, Milk, Tree Nuts

This menu contains meat (lamb) and fish. Kindly note that we will not be substituting any ingredients to accommodate dietary needs, so please only book into classes that suit your dietary requirements. Please be aware that while all allergens listed above have been identified as being in this menu, traces of all 14 allergens will be present in this training class.

Please see our Food and Allergen Policy when booking into the class for more information.

Throughout the class, Chef Sahar will share stories about her food and culture. You’ll work together with other participants to prepare each of the dishes, before sitting down to share a meal together.

A message from our Chef Sahar:

“My name is Sahar and I am Iranian, my language is Persian. My ancestors have taught me that my thoughts should always be good, my words should be good, and my behavior should be good. My country is a piece of heaven where my mother breathes and misses me. It has four seasons in one day. It has high and beautiful mountains, many lakes and rivers. I came to England 3 years ago with my two children. In Iran, cooking is very important in our culture, food carries a lot of value and we respect ingredients. Many Iranian dishes include rice and meat and it was a surprise when I came here to find that people don’t always eat meat nor love rice. I was also surprised by how much potato people eat – mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes and stewed potatoes! I applied to Migrateful last year and waited for a year. At first, I was nervous because I was worried about my English language, but they helped me and I have improved and realised it is not a big deal. In my class, we will play music and eat Iranian food – I hope you feel warm and welcomed, and leave with a happy experience! ”
