About Nine Foods
ہر گھر کا ذائقہHome-tested recipes from Pakistan and kitchens around the world.
Hi, I’m Farwa
Nine Foods is my kitchen notebook, opened up to everyone. I’ve been cooking, travelling and filming food since 2008, learning from home cooks and chefs along the way. I started this site to keep traditional recipes alive and make them easy to cook at home.
What you’ll find here
- Pakistani and South Asian classics: a full biryani collection, karahi, curries and daal.
- Arabian and Persian dishes: mandi, kunafa, harees, ghormeh sabzi and more from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Kuwait, Iraq and Iran.
- Recipes from around the world: Turkish kebabs, Russian soups, European stews and American comfort food.
- Cooking tips: spices, knife skills, meal prep and traditional techniques.
How I cook
Every recipe is cooked in a home kitchen with ingredients you can find locally. I explain the why behind each step, not just the what, so you can cook with confidence. Read how I test recipes in our editorial policy.
