Hi, I’m Paula Mohammed, welcome to my podcast: In My Kitchen with Paula. This podcast is a gathering place for culinary adventurers who love to travel.


Here’s a little about me…


My parents came from very different backgrounds, so I grew up with cultural influences from Pakistan, Japan, Italy, and New Zealand. In our family kitchen, the different traditions, recipes, and stories mingled together to create meals that were fun, inspiring, and memorable. 


This inspired a love of travel and cooking in me that continues today. AND a curiosity about the people behind the dishes.


I’m also the founder and CEO of In My Kitchen. We teach in-person and online cooking classes where my team of passionate home cooks from diverse cultures invite you into their kitchens to share their recipes, stories and travel gems.


On this podcast, we’ll explore the people, cultures and recipes from your travel bucket lists.  Every week we’ll come together with a new guest and their unique dish.  Using the dish as the vehicle, we’ll take a ride into the ins and outs of their culture and country.  Along the way we’ll gather some insider travel tips that only a local knows, have a new recipe to try and basically just hang out…in my kitchen.


So grab your favourite beverage and join me on a culinary adventure!
