S5 Ep13: Bookshelfie: Noor Murad - live from Wilderness Festival

For another very special bookshelfie episode, Noor Murad chats to Vick live from Wilderness Festival. The unbelievably talented Bahraini-British chef discusses the contradictions between private and public life in a Muslim country.

After gaining work experience in Germany and New York, plus studying at the Culinary Institute of America for three years, Noor Murad eventually met Israeli chef Yottam Ottolenghi while working at the Spitalfields deli. She’s now the Head of the Ottolenghi Test Kitchen, and has co-written two books with Yottam and the Test Kitchen team – Shelf Love and the upcoming Extra Good Things.

Noors book choices are: 

** Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi

** Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood

** The Outsiders by S E Hinton

** The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

** Three Women by Lisa Taddeo
