the story of pakistan cookery

My cooking brings together something unique from all parts of Pakistan, building on the

different traditions from each of the four provinces. Having lived in Turkey, China, Korea,

Mongolia and Uganda as a diplomat spouse and tasted food from across the world, I bring to

bear my personal experiences from those cultures into the authentic flavors of my dishes. You may ask “why start a website now?” I dedicate this website to my five daughters, who have

used most of my recipes to feed their families who equally appreciate and love good food. I

love creating new dishes and wish to widely share it with family and friends, and all those who

have the appreciation to try new flavors. I have used the same mantra as my mom: make the recipes simple, tasty and easy for everyone

to cook. My dishes do not feel heavy on the body; the secret indeed being a lot less use of

“masalas” while keeping the authentic aroma of traditional cooking.

Pakistanis are typically meat lovers, so our cuisine naturally uses lots of beef, mutton, chicken

and fish, but we also indulge in a variety of vegetables.
