Hear from Noor Murad, aka @noorishbynoor, as she discusses her new cookbook Lugma with presenter and host of the Crazy Sexy Food podcast Hannah Harley Young, before enjoying dishes from her book at Charlotte Street Hotel's Oscar Restaurant.

The event will start off in our screening room as you join Noor and Hannah to discuss her love of food and inspiration behind her latest cookbook. Then, head upstairs to Oscar restaurant for a sharing-style lunch of dishes from the book where Noor will be on hand to chat and sign books.

Lugma in Arabic means 'a bite'. For Noor her career has been centred around taking bites of food and analysing them to create the perfect dish. Raised in Bahrain and now based in London, Noor takes you on a culinary journey to celebrate her own food culture. Her recipes are inspired by the foods of her upbringing: the elaborate rice dishes and black limes of the Gulf, an abundance of herbs and sour flavours from Iran, liberal spice and chilli heat from India and the vibrant foods of the Levant – to create a unique collection of traditional and re-imagined dishes from the Middle East.

Look forward to a menu of: 

  • Cheesy Filo Rolls with Burnt Honey, Chilli and Mint
  • Burnt Aubergines with Fenugreek Sauce, Tahini and Fried Shallots 
  • Coffee, Cardamom and Chipotle-rubbed Lamb Chops  
  • Yoghurty Butter Beans with Middle Eastern Chilli Crisp
  • Really Soft Date Loaf with Cardamom, Fennel and Nigella Seeds
  • Chai Karak


ABOUT NOOR MURAD 

Bahrain-born, London-based and New York trained, Noor Murad joined the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen in 2018, where she worked as a recipe developer for Falastin and Flavour as well as Ottolenghi’s Guardian and New York Times columns. She became the head of the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen and wrote the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen books: Shelf Love and Extra Good Things.

"I adore this book. It’s personal, beautifully written – Noor’s voice draws you in and holds you there – and the recipes are absolutely glorious." – Diana Henry

"There’s an incredible generosity to Noor’s cooking, capturing the spirit of so many cooks across the Middle East: bold gestures, big flavours, whole universes of food around a single table. Noor is also a unique talent; her cooking reflects the essence of home comfort, plus an unmatched innovative palate." – Yotam Ottolenghi
