Hina Ikram

Hina Ikram focuses on testing RecipenKitchen’s Asian recipes in a practical kitchen setting. Her work involves cooking recipes as written, checking preparation methods and measurements, and paying attention to the details that affect the finished dish.

She looks beyond whether a recipe can technically be followed. She also considers whether the instructions are clear, the cooking process is practical, and the expected result can realistically be achieved by a home cook.

What Hina does

• Cooks recipes before they’re published, and leads the testing team, checking that the quantities, times and steps work in a home kitchen.
• Notes what the food should look like at each stage, so the recipe describes it clearly.
• Looks into reader messages and helps correct anything that doesn’t work.
