Parsi Sit-Down Meal with Sanober Dalal

Sanober Dalal, a passionate home cook, started cooking at a very young age. It was in fact the encouragement which she got from her mom that led her to learn cooking. Her earliest memories are of a Sunday morning when she was just 7 years old and when she single-handedly cooked some potatoes and fried eggs as breakfast for the family. She still vividly remembers the joy on her mother’s face. As she grew older, her zeal for cooking motivated her to participate and win many cookery competitions. Her biggest fan has been her husband, whose encouragement and support prompted her to author her very own recipe book – “Easy to Cook Recipes For All Occasions”. The book catered to the needs of working people and housewives and people in general who were not necessarily experienced cooks, but who were hard pressed for time and yet had the desire to have a good home cooked meal. Cooking for Sanober was never a chore, it was always about love and fulfilment. In the years that followed she collected recipes, some neatly hand written  while others put down on scraps of paper through recollections of people and events. Her collection includes her mother’s hand written books and recipes belonging to several other great cooks in her family.
