Get to know Tayebeh…
Originally from Ilam, a Kurdish city in northern Iran, Tayebeh has been living in Australia with her husband and two young children for seven years now, after a frightening journey across the sea from Indonesia. Tayebeh’s work and studies traverse architecture in Iran to child-care here in Melbourne, but her true passion is to share her traditional Kurdish cuisine for food-lovers to learn about and dreams of opening a Kurdish restaurant. In Iran, her culture was repressed – even in Kurdish towns, the language was Farsi and it was very hard to find work – so she’s really excited to be having open conversations about all the delicious and colourful aspects of her culture and heritage.
