A mother to three lovely girls, Samia Asif used to teach kindergarten in Pakistan before shifting permanently to Beijing in 2006.  She co-owns Mughals, the Pakistani restaurant, in Nali Patio. Samia is a fabulous cook often introducing and approving new menu additions at the restaurant. Some of the dishes served therefore are her signature recipes.
Having spent three years in Beijing earlier, from 2000-2003, Samia considers Beijing her home and is comfortably fluent in Chinese. She is excited to pitch in with Pakistani Cooking since many of her frequent customers regularly ask her for recipes.
