In an effort to conserve Pakistan’s rich culinary heritage, renowned Pakistani filmmaker and two-time Academy Award winner Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy has started the “Museum of Food” initiative.
It is necessary to preserve and record significant food stories from all over Pakistan because traditional practices and recipes are at risk of being forgotten due to the challenges of globalization and the passage of generations.
The establishment of an online repository for these stories has been announced by Chinoy’s production company, SOC Films, which has been collecting authentic and unusual recipes and culinary customs from all over the nation for the past three years, especially those that are in risk of being lost.
