Hello everyone,
I am Sumaira.

Back in Pakistan I was a teacher — and you can probably tell from my videos. I like to go step by step, slowly and clearly, so you understand each part before we move to the next. My own teacher was my mother. I learned at her side in her kitchen in Pakistan, the way these recipes have always been passed down — by watching, helping and tasting.

I moved from Pakistan to Canada two decades ago. Now my kitchen is in Edmonton, Canada, but the food is the same food I grew up with, cooked for my family here.

Family is the reason behind everything I cook. My husband is my first taster and my honest critic; if a dish does not pass him, it does not reach you. Cooking the food of home here in Canada is my way of keeping our daughter close to where we come from.
