About Us

At The Wannabe Cook, we wholeheartedly embrace the beautiful journey of uncovering the secrets of home cooking and weaving them into the very fabric of our lives. As we grow older, the familiar and comforting aromas that wafted through the rooms of our family homes have a remarkable power, instantly transporting us back to cherished memories. We believe that these scents and flavors are not just mere ingredients, but the very essence of our homes and the rich tapestry of our culture.

Our purpose is to honor and preserve this heritage by delving into the family recipes that have been passed down through generations, treasures brimming with sentimental value. Each time we recreate those beloved dishes, we breathe life into the traditions of our ancestors, keeping the flame of our family’s culinary legacy burning brightly. Join us on this personal and heartfelt odyssey, where the love for cooking and the preservation of home and culture come together in a symphony of flavors that will resonate through time.

🎉 Announcing the winners of our Healthy Iftar Recipe Contest! 🏆 Congratulations to Bindiya Bhagnani for her nutritious Quinoa Pattie, Tania Ahmed for the innovative Bottle Gourd Laddu, and Zaria for the stomach-soothing Creamy Chira. 🥳

🍽️ Why Healthy Iftar Matters: Opting for nutritious iftar dishes supports balanced eating habits during Ramadan, promoting overall well-being.

🌱 Quinoa Pattie: Packed with protein and fiber, quinoa offers a wholesome alternative to traditional patties, making it a filling and nourishing choice.

🥒 Bottle Gourd Laddu: Using natural sweeteners like Gur or jaggery instead of refined sugar, this sweet treat maintains sweetness without sacrificing health. Bottle gourd adds fiber and vitamins, enhancing its nutritional value.

🍯 Creamy Chira: With honey as a sweetener and no added sugar, Creamy Chira is gentle on the stomach after fasting. Its probiotic-rich nature aids digestion, offering a comforting post-iftar delight. Plus, the addition of fruits provides a refreshing burst of vitamins and hydration, perfect for replenishing nutrients after a day of fasting.

📸 Not only did these winning dishes impress with their health benefits, but their presentation and unique twists set them apart. Cheers to our winners for inspiring healthier iftar choices! 🥳👩‍🍳

We would request all the winners, including People’s Choice Award winners to send us their Bkash details along with their address so we can send you the prizes!
