I’m a qualified nutritional therapist and author. My interest in nutrition resulted from the overwhelming response to my first book ‘From a Persian Kitchen’ and a desire to better understand the science behind food and its impact on wellbeing as I began to think about my next publication. Growing up in Iran I was privileged to learn the traditional old remedies but I wanted to find out for myself if they were simply myth or if they are based on science. And so, I returned to formal education to feed my curiosity and gain the knowledge I needed to begin working on my second book. An unexpected outcome was that I became completely engaged (perhaps even a little obsessed) with nutrition to the point that I wanted to share my knowledge with others and ultimately work as a partitioner to help patients suffering from a range of aliments that can be treated by changes in their diet. ​
