On this episode of Magical Moments Jill interviews Aliya LeeKong! Aliya is a Chef, Cookbook Author, Television Personality and Mother with a passion for bringing global and socially conscious foods, spices, and traditions into everyday cooking and eating.
She has been a guest chef on The Today Show. She has been a judge on Food Network
shows Kitchen Casino, Beat Bobby Flay, and Worst Cooks in America: Celebrity Edition, a
culinary expert on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, and has been widely covered in publications like
Food & Wine, Vogue India, Shape, Oprah, Eater, and Food Republic. Aliya is extremely
passionate about culture and it’s influence. She is a first generation American whose parents
are Tanzanian and Indo-Pakistani immigrants, which has molded her multi dimensional insight
into cooking through a lens that layered culture upon culture.
Aliya is passionate about translating her maternal experiences into culinary adventures in the
kitchen, which inspired her to create a children's app, Issa's Edible AdventuresTM.
I met Aliya years ago at JILL LINDSEY and instantly felt a beautiful bond to her! We actually did a supper club in 2015 and have stayed close through the years! I have watched your daughters grow and you have always been such a huge supporter of the JL community!
Stay tuned for our supper club with Aliya in the future and have the MOST MAGICAL DAY!
XOXOXO!
