Broadcaster and foodie, Saadia Usmani is all set to take to the airwaves with her new weekly cooking show called On The Menu on Saturday 4 July 2020 between 8.30 and 9am on RTHK Radio 3.

Each week you can join Saadia as she introduces you to some of her favourite world recipes, made simple and easy for you to try at home. Every other week she will showcase the diverse communities in Hong Kong by joining local cooks in their kitchen to share their recipes and food related memories, including great recipes from Africa, Egypt, Italy and the UK!

Food played a major role in her family, inspiring her interests in cooking. Saadia has lived and travelled to many countries, experiencing a diversity of cuisines, picking up a range culinary skills along the way.
