OMID TAVALLAI

Alannah McPherson Tavallai (Instagram: @hannala) and Omid Tavallai (@tavallai) are the Californian mom n' pop chefs behind Emperor Norton (@nortonofparis), who provide fun un-French food for bars, cafés, pop-ups, and events around Paris. But it wasn't always that way. They had to smuggle ingredients, swear at substitutions, and tweak recipes maniacally to eat foods once taken for granted. And now they're sharing that knowledge with you.

 

Omid is co-host of Paris Underground Radio's The Transplant Kitchen.
