Honoring My Mother Through Cooking

Let me take you on a culinary journey to northern Iraq, where home cooking is everything, and my mother's kitchen was renowned.

Nohadra is the Chaldean name for my hometown, Duhok. There, at my mother's elbow, I learned the secrets of spice, flavour, and baking.

Nohadra's Kitchen is an expression of a daughter's love for her mother and her recipes.

Many of those recipes lend themselves to a vegan twist, but the accent is always on flavour. Not everyone can travel to the aromatic kitchens of northern Iraq, but Australians can now enjoy its cuisine at home.
