Aster secures the new 'go-to' cookbook from Persiana author Ghayour

Aster has secured Persiana Everyday, the follow-up to the bestselling cookbook Persiana (Octopus), from Sabrina Ghayour.  

Publisher Stephanie Jackson acquired world all language rights from Martine Carter at Sauce Management. Persiana Everyday will be published in August 2022.  

It will be a new collection of more than 100 recipes for everyday eating. “Designed to ensure maximum flavour with the greatest of ease”, the cookbook will showcase a myriad of recipes and methods from no-cook, quick-cook, quick-prep and one-pot dishes.  

Ghayour, a chef, food writer and cookery teacher, is one of the strongests voices in Middle Eastern food. Her previous books Sirocco, Feasts, Bazaar and Simply, all published by Octopus, were all Sunday Times bestsellers while her debut Persiana won Best New Cookbook at the Observer Food Monthly awards 2014.  

Jackson said: “A new collection of dazzling dishes from bestselling Middle Eastern chef Sabrina Ghayour is a publishing event to relish – so we’re enormously pleased to be publishing Persiana Everyday in August.”  

Ghayour commented: “I’m thrilled to be able to finally share a collection of easy, accessible recipes that deliver big on flavour but with the gift of simplicity and lots of thought put into convenience and making the process a lot easier and ideal for everyday cooking.”
