On April 11th, we’ll be travelling to across the Eastern Mediterranean without the air miles with bestselling author and broadcaster Yasmin Khan as she launches her third, highly anticipated book Ripe Figs: Recipes and Stories from the Eastern Mediterranean. The book chronicles her travels through Turkey, Greece and Cyprus. She will be in conversation with Ravinder Bhogal.

“In these tense, uncertain times, culture is often the first thing to be overlooked, yet it is what we need most. It is the best of culture and food after all that shows us what we have in common, allows us to enjoy our differences, open conversations and brings people and communities together. I am so honoured to be celebrating these exceptional cultural leaders who share Jikoni’s values of pluralism and diversity and I am so immensely proud and excited to be hosting each one of them.” says Ravinder, founder of Jikoni.
