An Iraqi-inspired plant-based pop-up will be hosted at JUMA Spaces in London on 9 October 2026 at 18:00 to celebrate Luna Issa's cookbook A Plate Is A Homeland. The event includes a three-course meal and a discussion with the authors, with tickets priced at £54.88.
An Iraqi-Inspired Plant-Based Pop-Up
Luna Issa and Phil Juma of JUMA Kitchen invite you to enjoy an evening of plant-based Iraqi eats, in celebration of Luna’s recently released cookbook A Plate Is A Homeland. Featuring a three-course plant-based meal, and a discussion between Phil and Luna diving into themes of the book, expect an evening of comforting flavours, contemporary dishes, and a celebration of Iraq in diaspora.
A Plate Is A Homeland is a collection of new writing, reflection and plant-based recipes exploring what it means to live and cook in diaspora. Drawing on her lived experience as an Iraqi-Scot, Luna Issa ruminates on how identity is shaped through food – growing it, preparing it, cooking it, sharing it – in dialogue with other chefs and writers.
Copies of A Plate Is A Homeland will be available for purchase.
