The last Wazwan cooks? Kashmir's wedding feast faces a generational shift
As autumn arrives in Kashmir, traditional chefs prepare the multi-course Wazwan for weddings. Ghulam Nabi Baba, a Wazwan chef, has nearly sixty years of experience cooking.

While the culinary tradition continues, younger generations are opting for restaurant work instead of wedding catering.
