Swaledale

Meet Anna - she’s happiest when she’s cooking, especially cooking Iranian food, with the finest ingredients to work with. 

She’s a UK-based Iranian American with a passion for exploring the link between food and cultural identity, and the ways food, flavours, ingredients and dishes have the power to cross borders 🇬🇧🇮🇷🇺🇸

Swaledale is delighted to announce that the first (of many) of Anna’s delicious recipes, is now available on our journal: Khoresh Rivas AKA Iranian mutton & rhubarb stew (link in bio) 😋

Also, Swaledale is proud to be providing Anna with the meat to recipe test her new book, The Silk Roads: Recipes from Baku to Beijing. This fascinating book is due to be published in the UK in 2025, has been shortlisted for The Jane Grigson Trust Award for New Food and Drink Writers!  🍲📚

Keep doing what you’re doing Anna! We love being part of your amazing journey and are constantly blown away by your extraordinary food!
