    About Me

    Hey...I’m Safira

    Hi! I’m Safira, the recipe developer, photographer, and writer behind Tiffin and Tea.

    I share accessible Global Recipes as well as Baking recipes for home cooks.

    One of my passions is to teach home cooks to become more confident in the kitchen and this comes with time and experience.

    About Tiffin and Tea

    This blog is a reflection of how we eat now.

    We like fast & easy recipes, healthy & fresh recipes and creative recipes.

    • The Fast and Easy recipes are for busy week days. They do not compromise on flavour.
    • The Healthy and Fresh recipes are delicious made with store cupboard ingredients.
    • The Creative Recipes are clever and full of flavour but they are still easy to make!

    All the recipes here are made using everyday ingredients.

    If you cannot find something, I will always suggest a replacement. We give you plenty of tips and tricks along the way so that you can adjust a recipe and make it your own.

    How it all began

    Tiffin and Tea started at a time when I was really struggling with my mental health. At the time my daughter was 3 and my son was 4. I was mentally and physically exhausted and in the midst of all of that, I discovered that baking and cooking had a way of relieving anxiety. 

    The name just felt like a natural fit. We loved tea and I used to pack a tiffin for my husband to take to work with him.  I also associated a tiffin with travelling and that is something I wanted to do a lot of. 

    I had learnt very little about cooking before I got married. I just about knew the basics.

    Over time I learnt how to make a variety of dishes and I really began to enjoy the process too. All the learning helped me to fix my relationship with food too.

    People were always asking me for recipes and I thought a blog would be the perfect place to share them.

    Tiffin and Tea is full of tried and tested. Some have been passed down from my Mum/Mother in Law/Family/Friends.

    I have worked with brands like Ocado, Oreo, Marvel, Ninja Kitchen.

    My Background

    Today, I am lucky to do a job I love - Creating and sharing recipes from around the world.

    My mum has and always will be someone who I look to for inspiration. She made the most delicious food throughout our childhood and continues to do that for us whenever we are in town. Although we struggled financially, her creativity never made it feel that way. We ate the BEST food.

    Food Inspo

    The food here is inspired by global cuisine. There are some lovely bread and indulgent dessert recipes thrown in too. I love baking and to me, it feels magical to take a few simple ingredients and watch them transform into something amazing.

    I love to learn by reading, watching cooking shows or programmes and following experts to learn new tricks and tips. My bulging book shelf needs a clear out but there are some books that I will never part with such as Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat.

    I believe that food is there to be enjoyed and moderation is what works for us. Sometimes we eat a Chicken Salad and other times we eat a Cookie Dough.

    This space has adapted as I/we have evolved. This is how we eat now and it is how our way of eating has adapted over time as a result of learning about what works for us. 

    I hope you find something here that you will love here. Thank you for allowing me into your kitchen and home.
