About Chef Nasrin
Nasrin has been cooking her whole life. For friends, family, at home and in exile, cooking has meant sharing to her community. "Cooking means love" for her, and that love transcends today in her new life in Queens where she’s seen frequently cooking for her landlord and neighbors. She says it’s part of her culture to cook for others, "I cannot cook for just a few people". Not just for us, but for friends, for neighbors."
Nasrin is one of the Chefs at Eat Offbeat. She dreams of opening an Iranian restaurant in her new home, but she imagines one that offers a different view of Iran. She wants to share the Iran unseen, instead of kebabs and rice, she sees a place where people can mingle over drinks and desserts and a few special treats unknown to most Americans. She says she wants people to know that "refugees are normal people." "I want everyone to see that refugees are good people and doing the best for America.".

To Eat Offbeat is to encounter distinct ingredients like tahini and saffron, cilantro and masala, figs and pomegranates, that (like our chefs) work in tandem to form unexpected tastes!
