This book was written to spotlight Pakistani cuisine and culture to the world. It was also written to promote their mission to empower women: which is why it includes "spotlights" on women leaders - such as Nadiya Hussain (Winner, Great British Baking Show), Sana Amanat (Creator of Ms. Marvel), Rupi Kaur, and Ayesha Chundrigar (Founder, ACF Animal Rescue) - and they plan to donate half of their profits from book sales to various charities.

Now a celebrated restaurateur, Zareen has a global following for her eponymous Bay Area restaurants.
