About Me

I, Sheharyar Rizwan, have been a lifestyle journalist for over 15 years, having worked with Daily Times, Express Media Group and Dawn. 

Besides being a movie and music buff I'm a foodie at heart having written numerous restaurant reviews, food features and articles for over 5 years. 

The knowledge about little things, such as spices, flavours and combinations, which I gained from my mother, shaped my interest in food. And, of course, I’ll give some credit to my own palate too. 

My love for food developed first at home around a decade ago, which later led me to trying various restaurants offering various -- sometimes exotic -- cuisines (what else does one really do here in Lahore). And I turned this passion and curiosity into a job. Along with editing hard news reports daily at a newspaper, I switch on my adventure mode, pop into restaurants and write reviews at least twice a month for the same paper. 

This blog is where I have compiled all my food-related work I have ever done. Lastly, I want to give complete credit to my dear dear friend Sadiq Saleem for suggesting the name of the blog.
