Pary Baban: Nandên

This week we’re exploring the food and culture of Kurdistan with
author of Nandên: Recipes from My Kurdish Kitchen, Pary Baban


Born in Southern Kurdistan, in Qaladze, a place known for its
resistance and community, Pary fled Kurdistan with her family to
escape what became known as the Anfal Genocide, and this is a
hard listen. But it’s her passion for using the food of her land
in her restaurant Nandine in South London and now the book,
Nandên meaning kitchen to keep her Kurdish culture alive after
generations of hardship and displacement, that makes this an
essential listen.


 


Pop over to Gilly's Substack for Extra Bites of Pary, including a
recipe for Yapraxi bahara, the stuffed vine leaves in her food
moments.
