Sorry I have been neglecting you all, but I have started photographing all the dishes for my new book on Persian food.  There is a lot of activity round here! We start early in the morning and don’t finish until late afternoon. Between the food shopping, prepping, cooking, plating and photographing there is a lot going on, but we still find time to enjoy and test all the delicious dishes.

I thought it would be fun to show you some  behind the scenes pictures. Miranda has sent me a whole lot, so grazie tesoro bello!!

Just back from the market with the first day provisions

Here we have the two wonderful Simons, my photographer and my editor, hard at work

The start of s dish….

Setting up the shot.

Felix from Bei Amici Restaurant dropped in and was immediately roped into giving an expert hand in the cooking. Thank you Felix, you were great!

A well-deserved lunch

After the shoot.. dishes everywhere.
