Hey Meet Anum Ahsan,
The culinary journey of a woman who once shied away from raw meat and avoided the kitchen at all costs, has blossomed into a passionate food creator. My transformation began when I moved abroad and found myself with no choice but to cook for my husband. What started as a necessity soon evolved into a love affair with cooking, especially after the birth of my children, who became my biggest fans.
My Journey
As a mom of 2, I'm ALLL about quick and easy recipes that help me get weeknight meals on the table fast. I love exploring healthier options, such as this Grilled Chicken Salad, but you'll also find tried and true family faves, like my grandma's Cinnamon Rolls Recipe and my mom's Khao suey Recipe
My culinary skills grew as I experimented with recipes, initially focusing on Pakistani cuisine but quickly expanding to embrace flavors from around the globe. Encouraged by family and friends abroad and driven by my newfound passion, I launched my own food channel in
2019, shortly after facing personal challenges during the birth of my second child. Cooking not only became a source of joy but also a therapeutic outlet during difficult times.
My food blog and channel have since become a beloved space where I share my creative recipes, from savory dishes to delightful desserts. With gratitude for my supportive community, I look ahead with exciting plans to continue exploring and sharing my culinary adventures.
My journey is a testament to the transformative power of passion and
perseverance in the kitchen.

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ME
Born and raised in the vibrant city of Karachi, Pakistan, my journey is a testament to the power of encouragement and self-belief. From an early age, my parents instilled in me the value of pursuing one's passions. Despite their hopes for me to pursue medicine, they wholeheartedly supported my decision to delve into Computer and Information Systems Engineering—a choice that shaped my path towards success.
My story took a new chapter when I met my husband during university and got married in 2014, relocating to Chicago, United States. It was here, with unwavering support from my husband, that I found the courage to nurture my budding interest in cooking alongside my career. His belief in my abilities boosted my confidence, inspiring me to explore and develop my culinary skills.
Today, I cherish my dual roles as a professional in the tech industry and as a passionate home cook. My journey from Karachi to Chicago is marked by the constant support of my loved ones, propelling me to achieve remarkable milestones in both my personal and professional endeavors.
As a loving mother of two wonderful children - a spirited 8-year-old girl and an energetic 5-year-old boy. I find joy in crafting delicious meals that bring my family together. My culinary journey is not just a hobby but a heartfelt expression of love and creativity, enriching both my professional and personal life with flavor and warmth.
