About Sage Kitchen
I'm Usman Khalid Mian. I like to say I've been eating since day one, but I really started cooking in "Sage Mode" when I was 15.
My relationship with food has been a bit of a ride. I was a very fat kid, and in my teens, I put in a lot of work to lose that weight and get healthy. That process changed my body, but it never changed my love for food—it just made me more aware of what I put in my body. I realized you don't have to stop loving food to be healthy; you just have to start understanding it.
Sage Kitchen is where I find that balance. It's a collection of recipes I've actually tested and messed up until they were right. It covers the stuff I'm obsessed with—from the slow science of sourdough to making Desi classics like Biryani and Nihari from scratch.
By day, I'm a Software Engineer. I decided to use those skills to build this site from the ground up as my own "piece" of the internet. Whether you're a total beginner or a pro, I hope these recipes help you make something great.
Beyond the kitchen, you can find me writing about philosophy and psychology on Medium or sharing my recipes and food journey on Instagram.
