Promotional. Sources in the article are mainly deadlinks and/or self-authored profiles and some interviews. The two first sources are interviews with her father. The two half decent pieces are local ones - - which is far from meeting SIGCOV. Icewhiz (talk) 13:40, 13 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:PROMO. The page is overstuffed with sources, so I started with a Proquest news archive search.  It brought up an article in the Essex Chronicle: CURRY AID: Meals by Chelmsford chef are sent to UN troops in Africa Ali had cooked meals at a local restaurant, hired a private airplane, and talked some reporter into coming out to the airport and write up a story showing her boarding the private jet ot personally deliver the meals to UN troops in the Congo. This shows that the woman SELF-PROMOTES with flair.  The other 7 hits were all in the Daily Mail and the Sun, promoting some beauty product she was pushing.  those papers do that. But if a contemporary, born-in-England: "English celebrity chef, television presenter, naturopath, nutritionist, businesswoman, and food and beauty writer" is for real, there will be WP:SIGCOV in a powerful news archive search.  Many  sources on this page ( I did not check them all,)  are fake.  To take just one: the BBC, yes the BBC has a service called BBC Academy: "This profile is part of the BAME Expert Voices database that brings together the array of talent who applied for and attended BBC Academy Expert Voices training days across the UK. The following information has been supplied by the expert".  delete.E.M.Gregory (talk) 20:26, 16 September 2018 (UTC)
