Description

PPC 122 takes the reader from Margot la ravadeuse’s early life in a brothel, where she cut her teeth in the sex trade, seduced by a feast of ragout with wine as her introduction, as she gradually realised her fellow diners are sex workers. The meal descends to a drunken brawl. As a palate cleanser, Nader Mehravari gives us the refreshingly sour taste of Persian yogurt. PPC 122 is a cornucopia of culinary information that would take a lifetime to gather; savour it all in the comfort of your home.
