    Work

    Hello!

    In addition to running the Pakistan Eats blog, I like to read and write about food. My work is a mix of personal essays, reporting and recipes. I am based in Phnom Penh, Cambodia but frequently travel to Washington D.C. and Islamabad.

    In 2017, I was TASTE magazine’s first Cook In Residence where I wrote about Pakistani food and culture. When I have time, I also like to host supper clubs to raise awareness about Pakistani food. You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram, or reach me by e-mail: pakistaneats@gmail.com
