A free over-18s meeting of the West Reading Cookbook Club where attendees cook and eat dishes from 'Parsi' by Farokh Talati.
The West Reading Cookbook Club is back at Battle Library on Tuesday 17 November, from 5pm to 6.45pm. It's a club for people who enjoy cooking, eating and talking about food, and this time the focus is Parsi by Farokh Talati.
If you've never been, the club works on a simple formula: everyone cooks a dish at home and brings it along, so there's no group cooking on the night. You just turn up with your contribution and spend the evening eating and chatting. The session is for over-18s only.
Parsi is a vegetarian menu that blends Persian and Indian cookery. Talati frames the book as a love letter to Parsi culture and its people, told through recipes, stories and photographs. Much of it draws on his own family life, stretching from west London to Gujarat and beyond, so the recipes sit alongside the personal history that informs them. The evening centres on that book, with the group cooking and eating from its pages.
