Hello hello, I’m Ismat
Thanks for being here! I’m a culinary creative, recipe developer, food consultant, food producer, food stylist assist, culinary copywriter, photo chef and culinary educator. I also dabble in custom bakes and love to meander grocery aisles on my travels.
To me, food is storytelling, culture, identity and exploration. I believe that food is like your fingerprint, it’s unique. It's also a reflection of your ethnicity, upbringing and experiences. I thrive in building and telling food stories, helping brands and businesses achieve their delicious goals. On this website you’ll find my work, current joys and ways we can collaborate. Hope to chat with you soon :)
Until then, happy eating and stay well!
