What you'll do
Food has a way of connecting us to people, places, and traditions, even when we’re thousands of miles away. Join Maryam Ahmed and Ryan Smolar at PLAYTE Kitchen and get a taste of Karachi, Pakistan, through cooking, photographs, and stories. Maryam grew up in a Pakistani American home, where her father’s Karachi cooking became a shared language with her elders. Going back as an adult meant revisiting old favorites and tasting plenty of new ones. Ryan works with the Urban Resource Centre and the Karachi Farmers Market, and he’ll talk about neighbors protecting their communities and backing local food producers. You’ll hear about the cheesemakers, chefs, and farmers behind the city’s food scene today.Then it’s time for some light hands-on cooking! Roll up your sleeves to layer a vegetable biryani, and watch a chef prepare chicken karahi right in front of you. Everyone gathers at the kitchen islands to eat both dishes together, swap stories, and chat about what stood out.Perfect if you're looking for unique date ideas, outings with friends, or if you're a foodie curious about other cuisines, you'll leave with a deeper connection to Pakistani food and the people behind it.What’s on the Menu:Vegetable Biryani (Light Hands-On Cooking): Fragrant rice, herbs, and colorful vegetables are stacked in layers with warming spices. You’ll try your hand at building flavor and assembling the dish’s signature layers.Chicken Karahi (Chef Demonstration): Tender chicken simmers in a tomato sauce brightened with ginger, garlic, and green chilies. Our chef cooks it in a traditional karahi, a deep, wok-style pan, so you can see how its bold flavors come together.
