Londonist's Finest In FT And British Museum

Leafing through the Financial Times yesterday you might have been enlightened about No-Rooz, Iranian new year, which falls on 20 March. What you probably didn't realise is that is was peppered with the words, warmth and wisdom of our very own SallyB, Contributing Editor, author of Persia in Peckham, keeper of Persepolis, driving force behind Peckham Literary Festival and all round star. Being such an engaging expert on Persian food and increasingly a local hero, she's been invited to speak at a Late at the British Museum, as part of their Shah-Abbas events programme, Persia and Peckham: talk and food tasting. That's right - TASTING (mmm). With only 65 places available for this free foody session we highly recommend you book now for a fabulous opportunity to meet the woman herself.
