A heartwarming story of resilience, homesickness and good Persian cooking in 70 glorious recipes.
Autorenporträt
Hamed Allahyari was born in Iran and arrived in Australia as a refugee in 2012. His modest Melbourne restaurant SalamaTea is a hard-won sanctuary, a business that fuels his immigrant dream as well as a place for sharing pride in Persian cooking. Local Iranians come for tea, talk and baklava, family groups share fesenjun with chicken and walnuts, tradies swing by for toasties and Anzac cookies made with Hamed's special Persian touch. In Iran, Hamed was a chef and restaurateur when a crisis of faith imperilled his life. Atheism is illegal in the Islamic republic and disobeying the tenets of Islam is a crime. One day Hamed was seen smoking a cigarette during Ramadan - he was arrested and received 80 lashes. He soon realised that leaving - now - was his only option. He travelled to Indonesia, then by rickety fishing boat towards Australia where he was detained on Christmas Island. Hamed was released into the community and slowly built a new life, with SalamaTea at its centre. Hamed has brought his flair and talent to the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre and the Free to Feed cooking school. He is much loved in Melbourne food circles for his advocacy for other refugees as well as support for food service operators during the pandemic.
