Nani’s Table: Her Famous Bread!!!! I have gotten so many requests for this recipe, and I finally got my grandmother to film it and give me the recipe. This has been a childhood classic ever since I can remember, and it’s one of my favorite breads that I’ve ever had, even though it is so simple to make. It’s soft, flavorful, and just so delicious. The full recipe is on my substack, link is in my bio #lailaspantry #chef #nanistable #homemadebread #pakistanifood

EP 1: Nani’s Table- Aloo Keema The number one request I get from people is always if I can teach them how to make Pakistani food. I feel very lucky that I have grown up with a grandmother who has taught me all of her recipes, and now I want to share that with you! I’ve always thought my Nani’s cooking is the best in the world (i might be biased), but it’s often corroborated by everyone who eats her food. So, over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing some Pakistani dishes that I grew up eating and that I hope you will love trying out! All the recipes can be found on my substack, link is in my bio! #lailaspantry #chef #pakistanifood #nanistable #alookeema

our meal prep for the week! I think my roommate got jealous of all the meal prep I was doing for clients, so they finally asked me if we can split groceries and I do the same for the three of us LOL! I was honestly happy to do it because I’m really bad at cooking for myself – I always end up eating skinny pop for dinner. Sooooo, this was our first week and it honestly went really well – we ordered groceries online and it came out to $200 between the three of us! I made two breakfast items, one was this protein oatmeal, and the other were these cheesy scallion breakfast fritters. Then for dinner, I made a chicken and veggie traybake, some miso salmon bowls, squash and tofu curry, and beef and mushroom lasagna. It’s already made life so much easier for all of us, and if you want to follow the same meal plan, all my recipes are up on my Substack, link is in my bio! #lailaspantry #chef #nycprivatechef #privatechef #mealprep

EP 1: Fundamental Flavors & Techniques- Knife Skills 101 I am so excited to be starting and sharing this series with you guys! I’ve always been asked if I can make a series of videos that go through the fundamentals of getting started in the kitchen, and I thought, OK! I’m going to do it now. My hope is that over this series you will learn skills that allow you to become more confident and comfortable in the kitchen. The structure of the series will be two episodes a week, 1 focusing on a technique, and the 2nd focusing on flavor. Often times they’ll be related, but sometimes not! These videos will be accompanied by 2 newsletters explaining each technique & flavor component in greater detail (and these newsletters will be free!). And don’t worry! I’ll still be posting 1-2 new recipes every week (and they’ll be incorporating the techniques ands flavors taught in this series), so that you can really internalize what I’m teaching. If you’re interested in receiving the newsletter straight to your inbox, you can sign up to my Substack at the link in my bio. I’m also pasting the link in this caption! I’m super excited to show you guys what I believe are the essential skills & techniques in a kitchen- and I hope you all find it helpful! Share this with anyone you think needs to get started in the kitchen or get even better at cooking! <3 #lailaspantry #chef #howtocook #cookingtutorial #knifeskills

30 min salmon pasta! i love love love using canned fish as a way to bulk up meals without spending a lot of money, and canned salmon is such a good way to do this!! i always go for no salt added & a water brine to make sure i’m not adding in any extra oil or salt that could alter the taste of my meal. the full recipe for this is in my substàck, link in bio! @Kerrygold UK @Graza @Trader Joe's #lailaspantry #chef #salmonpasta #cheapmeals #30minutemeals

feels surreal to finally be back in the States after 3 years of living in London. I’m going to be going more into what my experience meant to me in a different post, but leaving london has been one of the most difficult experiences of my life. i’m leaving behind the most amazing friends and i miss them so much already. however, i’m super excited to be with my family and closer to Darius now! while i’m scared about moving to NYC, im also excited! on to the next adventure ❤️❤️ #lailaspantry #travelvlog #londontoamerica #americanairlines #centurionlounge

GBBO 2026- Week 7: Vegan Chocolate Animal Cake! This one was equal parts fun and horrible LOL! i’ve never worked with fondant before, and this just confirmed that I literally never wanna do it again. Visually, my cake is obviously horrible and can probably inspire nightmares in many children. However, it tasted very good thankfully so I was happy with that. Can’t wait for next week! #lailaspantry #chef #gbbo #greatbritishbakeoff #bakingchallenge

GBBO 2026- Week 4 Technical Challenge: Roasted Grape & Blue Cheese Flatbreads! WOW! this was honestly such a crazy technical challenge. I don’t know if I’ve ever been this stressed for time with one from the get-go. The fact that the bakers only had one hour to make a yeast based flatbread dough and then fill it and roll it out and cook it is kind of crazy to me. I honestly don’t know how I got it done, but it was not easy. Definitely hoping next week is a bit easier! #lailaspantry #gbbo #greatbritishbakeoff #baking #flatbread

GBBO 2026: Week 6 Technical Challenge- Karpatka! @britishbakeoff this was a super fun technical challenge, as I’ve honestly never heard of this, but I have made a lot of choux pastry during my time on the pastry section at the restaurant I worked at. So, I felt pretty confident about the technical aspects of this challenge, but I had no idea how to actually execute it or make it work. I think I did pretty good, and I loved my addition of strawberries and lemon zest – I really lifted the whole thing up. Super excited for next week! #lailaspantry #chef #gbbo #greatbritishbakeoff #karpatka

Ep 3: Nani’s Table- Daal Tharka! this has always been my favorite meal growing up, there’s something so comforting about daal chawal and my Nani makes the best one. It’s light but very rich and comforting and hearty. It’s also super easy, so I hope all of you try it whether or not you think you know how to cook Pakistani food or not! the full recipe is on my substack, link in bio! #lailaspantry #chef #pakistanifood #desifood #nanistable

one of my FAV things since moving to this city is the insane amount of cool shit happening everywhere!! this was a launch of a beer by @8000brew - they brought American hops to Hunza Valley, farmed them there, and then brought them back and brewed it in Brooklyn! Like genuinely, how sick this is that. I’m not even a beer drinker but this was so delicious- fruity and citrusy and so so refreshing, I was begging the owner to start canning them lol. Also some awesome food provided by @eatingfortaste @khudi.nyc @dadiskababs @barheretic.bk such a cool event with cool people- loved it!! #lailaspantry #nycevents #hunzavalley #beer #nycfood
