Shabana Akbany is of Indian origin ,who is  settled here in  Jakarta , since 18 years ,after her marriage into a local Indian family .  She grew up in a large family of uncles , aunts and cousins . Since there  were so many ladies in the household the children of her household were  rarely allowed to enter the kitchen. But what was laid out on their table  was so delicious that she often wondered how such results were  produced  !!!

Thus  began Shabana's  early interest in cooking . She was a novice  to the kitchen even when she got married . She began learning cooking  techniques with enthusiasm and zest with the help of her Mother -in -law and referring to traditional recipes written in books when  locating to  Jakarta . This slowly resulted in her producing dishes that her  husband ,family and friends began to appreciate and relish . Now an efficient  cook, she plays a confident hostess to her many successful dinner and lunch  parties, entertaining family and friends.
