Ubtan recipe by naheed ansari biography

PUBLISHED August 04, 2024

Affectionately known as Naheed Apa not only among her near and dear ones, but also the people met, groomed or worked with, Naheed Ansari devoted over 35 years of her life for socio-cultural transformation of women. But that is broad term. She was actually the first woman in Pakistan who pioneered the idea of grooming girls for finesse in being cultured, well-mannered, and refined for a civilised and polished society.

A journalist *Faiza Naeem who began her career from a women’s magazine remembers how she was amazed each week Naheed Ansari sent in her weekly contribution to the magazine. “She taught women the ABC of baking, cooking and serving,” says Naeem. “She would make layered cakes to pound tea cakes to delicate tea sandwiches, serve fruit mocktails with quaint little umbrellas and cut fruit in the 80s, when no one knew a brownie from a chocolate gateau.”

She wanted to see young women to be ace at managing Naheed ansari recipes!
