About Beata
Beata grew up in Northern California with Persian parents, in a home that was always full of food, family, and celebration. From intimate tea gatherings to 80-person weddings, she learned the art of hospitality and entertaining at an early age.
She began teaching Persian cooking classes to stay connected to her cultureāespecially during a time of turmoil in the Middle East. Cooking has always helped her feel grounded, and now she shares that connection with others through her classes.
