Niloufer's Parsi Kitchen

Niloufer Mavalvala

Parsi Zoroastrian Culture & Cuisine

Born and raised in Karachi, with London, Toronto and Dubai all part of her life, Niloufer has travelled extensively. Passionate about culture through its cuisine, she enjoys all cuisines of the world. Self-taught, her experience through the years has driven her to write a blog, NiloufersKitchen.com, and publish four Parsi cookbooks – receiving 8 awards. She strongly believes that while we are identified by race, religion and colour, we share the tightest bonding through food. In 2021, she was awarded recognition by ParZor (community organisation) as one of 8 women having made significant contributions to the preservation of Parsi Zoroastrian heritage in the last century. Niloufer loves teaching, photography, music and travelling. Follow her on Instagram @nilouferskitchen.
