About The Author

Ghillie Basan

Writer, broadcaster, and food anthropologist, Ghillie has worked in different parts of the world as an English teacher, ski instructor, cookery writer, restaurant critic and journalist. With a degree in Social Anthropology and a Cordon Bleu Diploma, her interest in different culinary cultures has culminated in many books, some of which were nominated for the Glenfiddich, Guild of Food Writers, and the Cordon Bleu World Food Media Awards. Her cookbooks have also appeared regularly in the ‘Best of the Best’ and ‘Top 50’ lists; and she was described by Clarissa Dickson-Wright as one of the ‘finest writers on Middle Eastern food’. Diana Henry says: “I love Ghillie’s books …. I was using them before I was a food writer myself.” Her travel articles have appeared in the Sunday Times, Sunday Herald, Daily Telegraph, Sunday Tribune, Press & Journal, BBC Good Food Magazine, Diet & Nutrition USA, and various Middle Eastern and internet magazines, and she is one of the presenters on BBC Radio Scotland’s Kitchen Cafe.
