Raised in London with Persian roots, I have been a scientist, worked within the Pharmaceutical world and now a Nutritional Specialist. My loves are science, food and travel.
Before my love of food and nutrition took over, my background was in science. I have degrees in Biomedical Sciences and a PhD in Developmental Genetics from King’s College London.
My love for food and initial tutorship in cooking occurred in my Grandma's incredibly cosy kitchen, filled with herbs and spices. Where the three of us (my grandma, mum and I) would cook shoulder-to-shoulder. I have also studied at the Leith Cooking School in London, completing their Nutrition in Practice course and received an Advanced Diploma from Future Fit to formalise my marriage of science and food.
I live in SW London with my well-trained labradoodle Rollo, my less well-trained husband, and my son, who is in training.
