Cooking is more than a craft; it’s an expression of love, a bridge connecting generations, and a celebration of heritage. For Bibi Aysha Laher, this philosophy forms the heart of her self-published recipe book, Cooking with Bibi Aysha. Dedicated to her 84-year-old mother, Zubeida Laher, this delightful collection of recipes embodies a journey through time, taste, and tenderness.
A Culinary Tribute to Zubeida Laher
Zubeida Laher, lovingly called “Mum,” is the inspiration behind Cooking with Bibi Aysha. The recipes in this book are a beautiful fusion of cosmopolitan cuisine, crafted using budget-friendly, easy-to-find ingredients. Some are heirlooms passed down from her mother, others are creations born of her own culinary creativity, and a few are gems collected during her travels abroad while learning from professional chefs.
Every dish tells a story, whether it’s the comforting flavors of a traditional family favorite or the adventurous zest of international delicacies. This cookbook reflects the vibrant spirit of Zubeida Laher, whose nurturing love shines through in the meals she inspired.
Cooking as a Love Language
For Bibi Aysha Laher, cooking is the ultimate expression of love. Sharing a meal she prepared is her way of demonstrating appreciation and care. This sentiment resonates throughout her book, inviting readers to adopt this love language in their own kitchens.
