The beginning...

My love of cooking started at a young age. As a small child, I remember waking up one night and trotting into the kitchen to make "icing". I took a bowl, dumped sugar, yogurt and ice into it and began mixing furiously. In my naivete, I thought this is what made up icing as it matched the sweetness, texture and temperature. My mom woke up with the noise and asked me what I was doing, to which I replied "I'm making icing!" Needless to say, she wasn't happy. She promised to teach me how to make it in the morning and threw out the mess. I still don't know how to make icing without looking at a recipe, so suffice to say she never taught me how to make it - thanks Mom.

Fast forward a decade or so later, and here I am - newly married and unemployed, with a kitchen all to myself! Paradise! I've decided to start a blog documenting my trials, tribulations and successes on my road to culinary expertise. I have grand plans for this blog. I'm hoping to take beautiful pictures that will provide step-by-step instructions that will help those interested in recreating dishes that I have made. I'm also going to include my mistakes and possible corrections. Maybe include healthier substitutions? Told you my plans were grand.

Til the next dish...





P.S: My sis just sent me a screenshot of my blog as seen in the U.A.E. What do you think?
