Re: chef zakir
he is the best thing to happen to paki cuisine.. i dont have any of his recipes but my mom is an ardent fan and tries everything he makes and its all fool proof.. u could have never cooked in ure life and still make good stuff following his recipe.. he is great for non desi food too.. so many new dishes my mom made for us .. and wow.. amazing!
gtg: his books are available .. atleast in karachi they are!
Re: chef zakir
Khawateen, anything in particular you recommend trying?
He has a cookbook??! Is it in English? I want I want!! How can we order it??
Re: chef zakir
M.E, You can find sooo many of his recipes online in videos. That's how I have started following them, it's so much fun to watch :)
Re: chef zakir
Ya, but then you have to watch sooo carefully write everything down and I always miss things because Im not careful enough and am doing 2 other things at the same time :CareBear:
I love watching his videos too, he's soo nice and humble! But I like following recipes when they are written down, its just easier for me like that
Re: chef zakir
Yeahh, that’s true.. but what I do is just write whatever he mentions then check up on it with the recipe card. I guess I am more of a visual person 
gtg: his books are available .. atleast in karachi they are!
:o are you serious???
Last year, it wasnt there since every caller who called and asked for the book, he said he may or may not publish it..I even heard that he had a contract with masala channel that won't allow him to publish the book until he is with them!! I watched his show continuously for three months :D
If you can find more information.. let me know.. I would make sure hubby buys it for me before he leaves Karachi. :D
thanks mano! M-E, it's the same as above posted.. :)
No problem!!!:)
