Renowned Soho restaurateur Nima Safaei, the founder behind some of Soho’s most beloved Italian dining destinations, has released his highly anticipated debut cookbook, At Home With Nima.
Rooted in a philosophy of ‘simple and fresh Italian food’, the book unfolds as a full year in Safaei’s life, capturing the rhythm of the seasons through the dishes he cooks for family and friends. From generous Easter feasts to relaxed summer picnics at Henley Regatta, cosy weekends in the country, and the heartier fare of the shooting season, each chapter is anchored in key moments of the calendar.
Blending personal storytelling with recipes drawn from both his restaurants and home kitchen, it offers an intimate portrait of how food shapes and celebrates the passing year.
Since opening Forty Dean Street in 2009, Safaei has built a loyal following with his honest, ingredient-led approach to Italian cooking. The success of the restaurant led to the expansion of his Soho portfolio, including 64 Old Compton Street and 27 Old Compton Street – each bringing its own character while staying true to the same philosophy.
