Lila Charif

Born in Iran and raised in France, Lila Charif’s journey is one that spans continents and diverse passions. She began her professional career by expanding her family’s renowned French fashion brand on the international stage. However, her deep-rooted passion for health and wellness soon led her to pursue a second degree in Naturopathic Nutrition from the College of Naturopathic Medicine in London. Today, Lila is a dedicated Nutritional Therapist, committed to empowering others to embrace healthier lifestyle choices. Lila’s connection to Persian cuisine began in her childhood, inspired by the authentic dishes her mother prepared and the elegant culinary creations of their family friend and neighbour, Nahid Joon. This early influence has culminated in a dream realized—Nahid’s vision of writing a Persian cookbook, now beautifully brought to life through their collaboration. Lila is thrilled to share this labor of love with the world, blending her knowledge of nutrition with the rich traditions of Persian cuisine. As she continues her journey in nutrition and disease prevention, Lila is excited to grow her food and lifestyle brand, promoting a wholesome and vibrant life through the timeless flavours of Persian cooking. Lila now lives in London with her husband and is a proud mother to Nina and Lara.
