EP21 | Yasmin Sayed Ahmed | Family, Falafel and Fearlessness | Local Heroes Podcast

This week on the Local Heroes Podcast, Chris and Dan are joined by the brilliant Yasmin Sayed Ahmed, a vegan cook, food storyteller, and all-round unbeatable human being. We kick off chatting about the chaos of London’s 20mph speed zones, failed driving tests, and how learning to drive later in life can feel like scaling Everest. But that’s just the start.

Yasmin shares her journey from Alexandria to Newcastle, from battling self-doubt to building a life, and a business through food. She talks openly about navigating motherhood in a new culture, saying no to fear, and the quiet confidence that comes from doing things your own way. We get into parenting, identity, community, and the power of just getting on with it plus, of course, plenty of food chat.

We’re talking PROPER handmade falafel, tahini tricks, vegan kunafa, and why, despite the trend based food hacks, no one should ever put maple syrup in their sesame sauce (seriously don’t). This one is real, honest, funny, and full of genuine warmth. Yasmin's the kind of guest who reminds you that food isn’t just food it’s family, memory, resilience and how the movement of people positively influences our community and our food culture.

Tune in for the laughs, stay for the inspiration.
