A Journey of Flavour, Rooted in Heritage
Farah Asghari grew up in the heart of North West London, where food from every corner of the world was never far away. From Punjabi kitchens to Lebanese bakeries to Persian sweet shops — Farah grew up tasting, learning, and falling in love with the art of food.
After years in London, life took her to Bournemouth, and eventually to Peterborough, where she married and made her home. But through every move, one thing never left her: a deep, abiding love for the flavours of Afghanistan — the delicacies she grew up celebrating with her family at Eid, at weddings, at every gathering that called for something truly special.
Farah founded ASAL MAISON — meaning "Honey House" — from a simple but powerful belief: that Afghan desserts deserve a place at the table of the world's great culinary traditions. Not hidden away, but celebrated. Not just for Afghans, but for everyone.
