Our late mother, Nusrat Zaidi, was a fabulous home cook and quite often friends and family used to ask her to write a book, however with so many recipe books around, a web site seemed a better idea for how to share her recipes.
I was born in London in the early 60’s and whilst at Grammar school, choosing subjects to study for my ‘O’ levels, I was advised against Food & Nutrition as it was not an academic subject! So many, many years later I decided to attend the Birmingham College of Food and attained a Master of Arts degree from the University of Birmingham.
This degree helped me to research and write about my interests in Asian cuisine, especially the variety of different herbs, spices and foods.
Similarly, my sister Shereen who also attended the same school, shares our passion for delicious home cooked curries and we both enjoy cooking immensely.
