Hey, Gluten-Intolerants: Try Persian!

Having recently discovered she is both gluten and dairy-intolerant, Britain's Sally Butcher is delighted to discover the food she sells is also exactly what she should eat, according to Munchies.

"Sally Butcher married an Iranian, and has since become a cult figure of the British-Iranian food scene, with multiple Persian cookery books to her name and a perennially busy, TARDIS-like delicatessen in the heart of London’s Peckham, aptly named Persepolis.

What would you describe as a perfect wheat and dairy free Persian lunch?

Kookoo. It’s a bit like frittata, or a quiche, using chickpea flour in place of wheat. Or āsh: a rich, beany, vegan herb soup."
