designed for you, around you.
Picture this, a young little girl, standing in her mother’s kitchen, captivated by the comforting aromas of classic Pakistani dishes.
You’re expecting guests, you’ve got a group of people due to visit soon and you’re now stressed out about cooking for them. Where to start? You’ve got to clean the house, decide on the menu, buy all the ingredients and then cook everything whilst making sure it’s all presentable and delicious. You’re overwhelmed, the burden of it all is stressing you out a little and you could do with a miracle.
Here’s where I come in. And, No, I’m not going to show you any miracles, that’s not what you REALLY need. I understand the stress and anxiety of cooking for others when you don’t feel confident in your own culinary abilities. Believe it or not, I’ve been there, we all have to start somewhere. But first, let me take you on a little journey to explain why I can help you overcome this challenge.
The sizzling spices, the bubbling pot full of magic, and the rhythmic chopping create a symphony of comfort. Wide-eyed and curious, I watch as my mother effortlessly combines flavours and textures, creating meals that nourish both body and soul.
“I wish I could cook like that” I whisper to myself.
It is incredibly overwhelming to cook and bake like a pro. The journey to kitchen confidence isn’t one that came easily, it took many sunken cakes, a few over seasoned curries and plenty of misshapen roti’s to get to the stage I am today.
I’ve spoken to so many women about their culinary adventures, each with their own unique challenges and aspirations. For some, it begins with a tentative step into the world of baking, seeking guidance and reassurance as they navigate the intricacies of measuring, mixing, and creating sweet delights. Others find themselves at a crossroads, yearning to impress their in-laws with their culinary prowess, hoping to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere through the language of food. And then there are the mothers, the nurturers who pour their hearts into every meal, only to be met with the disheartening sight of their children pushing their plates away.
That’s why I’ve put together something special, intimate, and unique – a once in a lifetime opportunity.
I’ve had all of them reach out to me asking me to teach them how to bake or requesting cooking tips and some telling me that their children now look forward to mealtimes thanks to my recipes. These stories, these shared experiences, are the threads that weave us together in the tapestry of our culinary journeys. They remind us that we are not alone in our struggles and triumphs, that there is a community of fellow food lovers who understand the power of a well-crafted meal to bring people together and create lasting memories.
So that you can feel the feeling. That special moment of creating a dish that goes beyond what you thought was possible. An experience that will allow you to embrace the imperfections, the lack of skills and the mistakes you’ve made along the way and truly learn from them to create something you didn’t think was possible…your very own legacy in the kitchen!
Ten thousand YouTube subscribers, over 70,000 Instagram followers, and 18,000 thousand amazing TikTok fans. Millions of views on my original recipes.
Cooking hundreds of meals for events, retreats, dinner parties and more. This is where I am today, deeply grateful for the gift of sharing my love for the joy that food brings.
But let me tell you, it wasn’t always easy.
When I was barely a teenager, my (late) uncle, my dad’s older brother who I call Abbu, became my very own kitchen hero. I spent many a weekends at his place, soaking up his wisdom and love, one day, he said to me, “Let’s make a handi together” a handi is a traditional cooking basin made from copper or clay, today the word is loosely used in Urdu/Punjabi to refer to any type of traditional curry. Guided by his experience, I learned the secret to great curries: the base (sauce), the protein or veg and the most important the holy trinity of spices – salt, turmeric, and chilli.
As I grew older, I stepped up in the kitchen, learning from my mom’s 30+ years of feeding our family. She taught me to avoid common mistakes, but also encouraged me to take risks – because that’s where the biggest learning points are. Cooking became more than a hobby or chore, I truly believe that it’s a life skill everyone should have. The power to nourish your body and soul, create meals that bring people together, tell stories, and create memories. The more I fell in love with cooking, the more I wanted to share that love. Creating fusion dishes, pouring my heart into every recipe, hoping to inspire others to find the same joy and then feeding them.
Tailored instruction to suit your skill level and goals
I’ve been where you are. I know the frustration of learning from vague instructions, the pressure of impressing others with your cooking and baking, but I also know the incredible happiness and joy you can feel from creating something delicious and seeing loved ones gleam with delight at that first bite.
So, I want you to join me as I embark on this culinary adventure. Let’s learn, laugh, and create magic in the kitchen. Because cooking and baking isn’t just about food. It’s about love, memories, and stories we create together. Let’s cook and bake with our hearts, making every dish a celebration of life.
I’ll share the stories and wisdom passed down from my family, helping you connect with the heart and soul of the cuisine. Through my guidance, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for ingredients and techniques that make Pakistani food so irresistible, unlocking your kitchen confidence and creativity.
For those of you wanting to elevate your baking to a professional standard or even start a business, you can be sure to experience a true transformation in the kitchen as you unlock the confidence and creativity within you. Through our one-on-one sessions, you’ll gain new skills, knowledge, and a newfound sense of self-assurance. I’ll help you conquer any fears or doubts, replacing them with the joy and excitement of experimentation and learning through success and failure equally.
As your confidence soars, so too will your creativity. You’ll find yourself eager to put your own spin on recipes, play with flavours and presentation, and develop your own signature style. Your culinary journey doesn’t have to end when our one-on-one sessions conclude. As a valued member of my kitchen community, you’ll have the option to enjoy ongoing support, guidance, and inspiration long after you’ve mastered the art of cooking or baking through our community based WhatsApp group. You’ll also have access to a private online community of fellow food lovers, where you can share recipes, swap stories, and connect with like-minded individuals who share your passion.
