Saliha is a Pakistani chef, entrepreneur, and the founder of Third Culture Kat, a condiment company dedicated to honouring heritage, fostering community, and championing ethical sourcing. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu London with a Grand Diplòme in culinary arts, she has worked in some of London’s most renowned kitchens. Yet her journey began far from the fine dining world in the mango orchards of Pakistan, where three generations of her family have nurtured the land. This intimate connection to agriculture instilled in her a deep respect for the people behind every ingredient.

With Third Culture Kat, Saliha brings her family’s legacy to life by collaborating directly with Pakistani farmers to create bold, complex, and thoughtfully crafted condiments. Each jar is a narrative celebrating the landscapes, traditions, and rich culinary heritage of South and Central Asia while bridging generations, cultures, and borders.

At its core, Third Culture Kat is about showcasing a different side of Pakistan. It challenges prevailing media portrayals by revealing a vibrant, resilient community that is as beautiful as it is diverse— a community that truly deserves to be seen and heard.

Beyond the condiments, community remains at the heart of Saliha’s work. Whether through supper clubs, collaborations, or storytelling, she creates spaces where food is more than just sustenance its a shared experience, a political act, and a way to honour history while shaping the future.

Through Third Culture Kat, Saliha continues to champion food sovereignty, ethical trade, and fair wages for farmers, ensuring that the stories behind the flavours are just as powerful as the taste itself.
