Persian Food Scholar| Davis, CA

Nader Mehravari is a Persian food scholar. For over forty years, he has immersed himself in the practical culinary traditions of the people of Iran and the larger Persianate societies around the world, actively bringing those traditions to life in the kitchen while exploring their associated historical, cultural, and social dimensions. While mastering and recreating traditional Persian dishes in a typical modern western home kitchen, he has been carefully documenting the methods behind individual and categories of dishes. He is working towards an innovative Persian cookery book where accurate historical information and modern food science principles are applied for modern western home kitchens, making these dishes both accessible and authentic, while teaching the foundational techniques of Persian cookery.
