Renowned Pakistani chef loses fight against cancer

KARACHI: A prominent Pakistani television personality, chef Sara Riaz, passed away on Friday. Sara had been appearing in cooking shows on ARY Zauq, politely demonstrating the recipes for the audience and nobody expected her to be suffering from a fatal disease such as cancer. She was in critical condition since last week.
Sara had over 20 years of cooking experience and was a well-respected food expert. Her career took off when she began contributing recipes to media outlets. Her easy to follow recipes and personal charisma soon made her a prominent member of the local culinary community.
“Her passing is a huge loss for the food industry,” said Shaheen Malik, editor of Dalda food magzine. “Sara trained an entire generation of chefs.”
She hosted a popular show on “Zouq Zindagi” which spawned a huge network of fans online.
