Shuraya's Kitchen Expect Bangladeshi flavors, sensory indulgence, storytelling, laughs, cooking curries and delicious food!

A Bangladeshi chef meets a Palestinian chef in Calgary, and of course, we are talking, eating, and laughing! Husam attends one of my cooking classes this year and last year I attended his monthly community events and today he made fresh za’atar pita for me, and I loved it! Because he started his own food business, I wanted to share his story! What inspired his passion for cooking, why community means so much to us, and all the fun conversations in between.

We both share a love for bringing people together over the food we grew up eating. Through community events where we have served hundreds with those familiar flavours. We have found a way to share our roots and build connections, and we couldn't be more proud!

Follow PeaceTable | YYC for his monthly events, and order fresh food through Peace Chef YYC Let’s show some love to a local small food business and the person pouring his heart into it.

Today, 3 years ago, I shot a random 2 a.m. post in a Facebook group that brought nine women into my kitchen for my first-ever cooking class! No flyer, no fee, no teaching experience, just their curiosity and love for curry!

I thought I was there to teach the basics of curry, but I left with lessons about my own worth, community, and the joy of sharing my culture. Little did I know I would go on to host over 70 more classes. Alhamdulillah for it all.

It’s Tasmina | Holistic Nutrition Chef birthday today, and you know Shuraya couldn’t let it pass without a little celebration on her page!

From the same roots in Sylhet, Bangladesh and with our Canadian upbringing, we truly share the same love for cooking and feeding people, how lucky am I to have found a soul sister in you? Thank you for bringing your laughter, kindness, and knowledge into my classes, supporting my dreams, and showing up for me. In a city where I had no family, you became my sister. đŸĨš

Happy birthday Chef Tasmina! Your apu is here for you. Here is to more food, and memories together! May you be rewarded with much success and joy in life!

Wearing my dad’s smile proudly. Many have told me how they can feel my dad's energy in me and I couldn't feel more at peace. Sometimes I catch a little glimpse of him in my own face, and for a moment, he feels close again.

I miss you, Abba. Your smile lives on in mine, and I hope your kindness lives on in the way I make others feel.

Shari blouse on work duty because she’s versatile like that! Thank you Aritzia for carrying multipurpose tops for us girlies that are switching from one attire to another!

I hosted my first online Bangladeshi cooking class today, then headed to my rewarding part-time job at Lemon & Ladle where I get to serve our community! From teaching to serving! And today’s hot feature is butter chicken, made with organic, free-range chicken from a local farm!

So grateful for this life, the food I get to share, and the people I get to connect with. đŸĨš

My first ever online cooking class introducing simple nutritious Bangladeshi recipes! Almost 30 people registered and I am super excited to teach! This is also a learning opportunity so I am grateful for Women's Centre of Calgary for giving me a chance to talk about our Bangladeshi flavors and the fun of cooking!

I miss hosting from my home kitchen! đŸĨš And honestly, my cooking classes gave me a reason to share and cook so many delicious food! And looking back at these clips from this year, I realized so many only made it to my stories. I lacked confidence back then, but now they are getting their own series! đŸ¤Ŗ This one is about all the fish that was in our fish curry menu!

Enjoy little teaching moments from my cooking classes that I thankfully got to host 70+ times! There will be talks about food, stories and Bangladeshi ingredients. So drop your questions in the comments, and I will do my best to answer them!

Four months later, I am finally putting these Eid memories together, missing my amma and my family in Toronto. đŸĨš

As diaspora kids, we long for moments that feel like home. My cooking classes are my way of recreating that feeling, and I am so grateful to share something this special. Every celebration comes alive through the people we share it with. And what better than with food you grew up eating with?!

So what'a your little moment that brings you back home?
