Who Am I?
It’s me, Farah—a food lover, tester, and creator who’s fallen in love with the art of cooking. However, it wasn’t always this way! My journey in the kitchen started with countless experiments, full of trial and error, a few burnt pots, and plenty of “aha!” moments. But through all those experiments, I discovered a love for cooking that has become one of my greatest joys. 💖
How It Started
My relationship with cooking began out of necessity, as it does for many of us. But soon, it turned into the joy of creating fresh meals, the freedom to try new recipes, and the contentment of knowing that no one around me would judge. Thank God I was blessed with the most encouraging and humble husband, who’s happy to eat anything—as long as it isn’t burnt or spoiled!
I entered marriage with almost no culinary skills but soon found myself in the full-blown “lady of the house” era which meant mastering the kitchen per se. As I climbed up my learning curve, Masala TV came to the rescue! From mornings filled with Masala Mornings to evening catchups with Mehboobs Kitchen, my days were tempered with a dash of Tarka and heavily loaded with Lazzat. I came across many pieces of food wisdom, tips, tricks, and enriching Experiences.
I discovered that recipes just happen! They are not rocket science, cooking isn’t about innate talent or “haath ka zaiqa.” It’s about precise measurements, careful instructions, and following recipes step by step to yield the desired results. Once I got the hang of it, I was able to alter those recipes to my taste as well. SUCCESS!
“After all, cooking doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be yours.“
Why Am I Here?
With all the noise out there with reels and short videos, fancy food videos, and a lot of shortcut recipes, we all actually need some traditional, home-cooked food recipes to cook every day to keep our hearts and bellies full. I wanted to make the kitchen a little less of an ordeal for beginners, expats, and food lovers who would like to keep a screenshot somewhere in their galleries in order to keep going back to simple recipes every other day.
