The Road From Karachi

The Road From Karachi began with a family passion for sharing authentic Pakistani and Indian cooking. What started as a much-loved cookery school in the 1980s has grown into a way of preserving treasured family recipes, passed down through generations. Today, we're proud to continue that journey, bringing the flavours of Karachi to kitchens everywhere.One of the most touching aspects of the story is how an old recipe book, once thought lost forever, became the "star of the show" decades later. What began as a practical guide for cookery students in the 80s evolved into a modern publication stocked in nationwide retailers such as Waitrose & Waterstones. The original cookbook appeared on BBC's The Repair Shop and was carefully restored to its former glory, bringing a precious piece of my family history back to life. Having spent over 20 years in education, I love teaching. In my classes you’ll cook alongside me, ask all the questions you like and enjoy a lot of laughter. A recipe is never just a list of ingredients - it’s a way of sharing where you come from and introducing people to an unfamiliar culture. I’ll show you the little techniques my parents taught their own students and you’ll leave with dishes you’ll want to cook again and again at home. Come hungry, bring your curiosity and come cook with me.
