Tahir Sultan Food

TAHIR SULTAN
I am half Kuwaiti, half Indian and have a back ground in architecture, fashion and art. Cooking was always a passion. I have always made my own food and never really ordered in as I hugely believe in eating clean .

RELATIONSHIP WITH FOOD
If one was to look at me, judging from my size, one would immediately jump to the conclusion that I have absolutely no relationship with food. The truth is I love food, am veryexperimental, very hands on. I enjoy going to fish markets and selecting my own sea food, to butchers to select special cuts of meat. Often, when I plan a menu, even if it’s for myself, I find that it changes once I get to the market depending on what’s new, fresh and exciting. Contrary to popular belief, I don’t shy away from fats or fatty foods, I actually watch out for the sugars and the artificial ingredients as they wreck havoc on one’s body. I am celiac, so I never touch gluten, but have found very creative alternatives. The best time I have with some of my closest friends is planning what we are going to eat and drink when we get together, needless to say it’s a lot of both always!

TAHIR SULTAN FOODS
During lockdown, after three months of being creative yet idle, I needed something to do. Both fashion and art had become almost impossible to navigate, so I reluctantly turned to a skill I knew everyone appreciated and I was good at. I never wanted to be in the food business, and now that I am, I cannot comprehend why anyone in their right mind would willingly get into it! It’s worse than fashion and that is really saying something. Yet, with a lot of perseverance, hard work and dedication, the brand has gained traction, recognition and a loyal following, so I am grateful for that.
