I came to kebabs in my late teens and was lucky enough to be introduced to them in what is still my absolute favourite place to eat them, Maroush. An Iranian friend used to drive up there, always very late at night. The only dilemma would be whether to have the lamb or the chicken.… read more »

For this entry, I decided to rifle through my extensive collection of cookbooks for inspiration. I came across one particular book that I have not used for a while.
