About Us

We just love cooking!

Food – Fam – Fun was born from a simple truth we carry from our roots in Bangladesh: food is never just food. It is nourishment, memory, togetherness, and joy.

When we moved to the United States and settled in Orange County, California, we brought with us not just spices and recipes, but also a way of looking at food — as something that connects health with happiness, and family with community. Here, amidst a world of fast food and quick fixes, we felt the urge to share what we grew up with: honest cooking that heals, gathers, and delights.

This is a family project, created by Shakil and his wife together with his sister, Arwin — a university lecturer in Bangladesh and an artist at heart who also shares her creativity through her channel Mehndi by Arwin. Each of us brings a different voice to the kitchen: one stirs, one experiments, one decorates, but all of us believe the same thing — food is best when it is shared.

Through Food – Fam – Fun, we want to:

• Share recipes that are rooted in Bangladeshi tradition but easy to enjoy anywhere.

• Tell stories about food that carry both ancient wisdom and modern science.

• Celebrate the family table, where everyday cooking becomes memory.

• And in time, take this passion outside — to farmers markets in Orange County, where we’ll cook live and invite our neighbors to taste pithas and other foods from our culture.

This is not a business that started with profit in mind. It started with passion — for food, for family, and for fun. If you’ve ever felt the joy of a kitchen filled with aromas and laughter, then welcome — you’re already part of our family.
