Noor Murad in conversation with Aaron Kossoff – SOLD OUT

Noor Murad is a Kentish Town based chef and co-author of the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen series. Join us at the Owl for this exciting evening with Aaron Kossoff interviewing Noor about the book, Middle Eastern cuisine and their shared experiences working at Ottolenghi.

Kossoffs Bakery on Kentish Town Road will be launching a limited edition range of menu items inspired by Lugma to celebrate the book release and there will be some samples available at the event.

Signed copies will be available at the event or can be purchased here and will be ready to collect after the event.

In Lugma, Noor Murad offers over 100 recipes as an ode to the food she grew up eating – traditional flavours and modern dishes from Bahrain, the surrounding Middle East, and beyond.

Lugma in Arabic means a bite. For Noor, as a chef and co-author of two Ottolenghi Test Kitchen cookbooks, her career has been centred around taking bites of food and analysing them to create the perfect dish. Raised in Bahrain and now based in London, Noor takes you on a culinary journey to celebrate her own food culture. Her recipes are inspired by the foods of her upbringing: the elaborate rice dishes and black limes of the Gulf, an abundance of herbs and sour flavours from Iran, liberal spice and chilli heat from India and the vibrant foods of the Levant – to create a unique collection of traditional and re-imagined dishes from the Middle East.

From Spring Time Fattoush and Stuffed Baby Aubergines to Slow-cooked Fenugreek Lamb with Pickled Chillies and Pistachio Cake with Labneh, these beautiful and inspirational recipes are full of love and warmth to be recreated in your own kitchen.
