About Me
Beyond the boundaries of taste.
Welcome to DishStories
Where Global Flavors Meet Your Kitchen
Hi, I’m Bahlul Ahsan 👋
I’m not a professional chef – I’m a 5-star hotel accountant who has spent years surrounded by some of the world’s most talented culinary teams and international guests.
Working behind the scenes in luxury hospitality taught me one thing: food is the world’s universal language. Whether it’s a bowl of Italian Tiramisu, Arabian Khabsa, Bangladeshi Kacchi Biryani, a sweet slice of Arabic Kunafa, or a simple plate of Pakistani Chula Boot, these dishes carry stories, cultures, and traditions that connect people everywhere.
🌍 Why I Started This Blog
I’ve always been fascinated by how the same dish looks different in a street market, a family kitchen, and a five-star dining hall. This blog is my way of discovering and sharing those journeys: • The origins of world-famous recipes. • The differences between hotel-style, street-style, and home-cooked versions. • The practical recipes you can recreate in your own kitchen, no matter where you are.
