Fateha Khanom

Bio

My name is Fateha, British born Bangladeshi, mum of two young daughters from Birmingham. I had a successful teaching career over 20 years but now looking to change careers and pursue my passion in cooking. Food was deeply rooted in my Bangladeshi heritage and inspired by parents who had their own family restaurant. I have always been inspired by the rich flavors of Bengali dishes and experimenting with other cuisines. In 2024, I was fortunate enough to be selected for MasterChef UK 2024 and was proud to become a quarter finalist. This experience gave me confidence to pursue a career exploring culinary cuisines from Bengal. I am now on a mission to bring flavours from Bangladesh to the mainstream food industry in the UK. I am currently looking to offer private dining , supper clubs and authentic cooking classes to anyone who is interested in learning to cook. My dream is to eventually open my own bespoke cooking school and publish my own British Bengali cookbook. Please follow and support my journey @fateha_khanom_ on Instagram
