Homemade Jalebi Poster

Samra Khan

MA Candidate

Jalebi is pure Pakistani happy chaos — the kind you find in bustling bazaars, crowded weddings, and late-night chai stops. It's warm, syrupy spirals remind me of family gatherings, shared laughter, and that familiar joy of saying

"bas aik aur!" (just one more!) even when you're absolutely full.

Its origin? All I know is that it's sweet, delicious, and somehow manages to make every celebration feel instantly better. Whoever invented it — shukriya to that mystery genius.

Elegant Chocolate Cream Pie Recipe Poster

Rosemary Giles

PhD Candidate

"When I was a kid, I stopped wanting cake for my birthday and instead asked for my Mum's chocolate pie. She would make a pie for my family birthday dinner and make them into tarts for my birthday party with friends. She gave me this recipe at my bridal shower to make up part of a cookbook of different dishes from family and friends."
