Dr. Farhat Sayyed
Dr. Farhat Sayyed, a dentist by profession, interested in cooking and passionate about food photography. What began as a simple hobby in the kitchen soon turned into a creative journey — one that blends flavor, artistry, and storytelling through the lens.
A big part of this creative path has been shaped by my friend and mentor, Dr. Wini Chandra, whose guidance introduced me to the finer aspects of mobile food photography. Through the inspiring and supportive Mobile Photography Facebook Group led by Dr. Akash Akinwar, I discovered the joy of turning everyday meals into beautiful visual stories — using only a mobile phone and a lot of heart.
I also wish to acknowledge the guidance of photographer Manoj Musale Sir, whose technical insight has helped me refine my approach and continue growing as a food photographer.
To share my passion more widely, I launched my YouTube channel, Foodelia by Farhat, where I post recipes, plating ideas, and mobile photography tips — all created from my home kitchen. You can also follow my visual journey on Instagram @foodelia_by_farhat, and connect through my Facebook page here.
This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the unwavering love and support of my father, sister, brothers, and nieces, who have been my biggest cheerleaders. I’m also truly thankful to all my friends and well-wishers, whose encouragement has motivated me to keep pursuing this passion.
This cookbook is more than just a collection of recipes — it’s a celebration of creativity, family, and food. Each photo tells a story, each dish is made with love, and every page reflects a part of my journey.
Welcome to my table.
