Family Tradititions MEET Modern Techniques

ABOUT ME I'm Nosheen and I've spent 20 years living on the Mississippi Gulf Coast with my husband and three daughters. I love everything about food: cooking and trying new recipes, exploring restaurants nearby (and while traveling), and taking cooking classes. When I'm not cooking, you can find me bingewatching thrillers on TV, reading crime fiction, and spending time with my friends and family.

WHO I COOK FOR

My husband, ljlal; daughters, Naahin, Maham, and Parisay; and son-in-law, Josh.

MY COOKING INSPIRATION

My goal is to preserve my Pakistani culinary heritage for future generations and people who are interested in learning more about the cuisine. I want to create a space where people can dig into Pakistani food, culture, and people through ancient recipes and the stories attached to them.

WHAT COMFORT FOOD MEANS TO ME

My favorite comfort meals at home are lentil curry, basmati rice, and kachumber salad (a chopped salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and herbs) or a rice pilaf with chicken or mutton. I love street food recipes at home, too: chaat, samosa, and bun kabab. These foods bring back so many nostalgic memories.
