During the years she lived in Afghanistan and Pakistan where she cooked for up to forty people as often as three times a day, Nawida evolved into a master multi-tasker who also puts attention into the details.
Nawida will welcome you with cardamom tea and a selection of traditional savory snacks such as pumpkin stuffed flatbread, and tomato and chilli eggs. Nawida is a charming host with a bright, fun personality, and when you cook with Nawida, you will be impressed by her ability to finesse the many elements that make her Afghan recipes come together as a whole.
At the end of the day you’ll go home newly inspired with all the recipes and a shopping guide to Nawida’s favorite food markets.
