The article is dated from Friday the 18th when she passed
The post said, “Words seem inadequate to express the melancholy we feel about the sad demise of cooking expert Sara Riaz. She had been battling with breast cancer disease and was declared to be in critical condition last week. After a severe illness and struggle she passed away this morning (18th April,2014) in Karachi. Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.(May her soul rest in peace)”
Shaheen Malik, editor of food magazine Dalda ka Dastarkhwaan, said “Her passing is a huge loss for the food industry. Sara Riaz trained an entire generation of chefs.” She had 20 years of cooking experience and was one of the most respected chefs of Pakistan. She had hosted popular cooking shows like ‘Zauq Zindagi’, ‘Tonight’s Menu’ and ‘Khanay mai Kiya hai’ on ARY Zauq. In addition to doing cooking shows on TV, Sara also owned a training institute, which she ran from her house in North Naziamabad, Karachi. She was married but she had no children. She was buried today after Friday prayers.
so sad. May Allah grant her highest place Jannatul firdous. I heard that Farrah Jahazeb is also battling breast cancer. This is an awful disease and afflicts many women in all walks to life. May Allah (Swt) have mercy and rehman on all of us.
I took a cooking class with her once. Girls from all over the town used to go to her just to learn hands on from her. She was a beautiful person. Had traveled almost all over the world to learn about food & different cuisines. A very knowledgeable woman yet no arrogance. Had this motherly aura.
Definitely will miss her. I used to watch her shows and learned many things from her. It's strange to know she didn't have any kids because once in her show a child called who claimed to be her grandson.
inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raaje'oon. May Allah grant her janna and strength to the loved ones to bear the pain. aameen
i hear more and more women dying of breast cancer. in our countries, women are NOT given regular breast examination/screening/education to detect/catch cancer earlier is really the reason behind the high death rate. i hope women back home will receive basic education/awareness to combat this menace.
