Meet Noshi and try one of her delicious recipes at home

Hello, I’m Nosheen, the founder of Nosh Bakes, a UK expat with a love for cooking and all things creative. You could say I was always meant to be in the food business (it’s in the first syllable of my name 😉).

I moved to the island four years ago, originally from an IT background, before transitioning into content creation for brands. That creative journey eventually led me to launch my home-baking business in 2023. I’m deeply grateful for the support and love I’ve received along the way, it’s what continues to motivate and inspire me every day.

A perfect treat

5. Mix on low speed, adding eggs in 3–4 additions, mixing well after each.
