My Passion for cooking has no limit, I Can spend
most of my day trying new recipes and new ingredients, isn’t cooking is about
creativity and inspiration .it is an art by itself , I am obsessed with olives and cheese , a French bread with
cheeses is my joy I can eat that all day , since I was a child , I used to
prepare my father Mezza since we had gathering every weekend at our house, this is how I started my cooking experience,it also
helped me during my college years , I used to go to farmers
markets around Baltimore area, and get fresh ingredients. It is healthier and a
way to save money as a student.
I guess every one
consider their mom is the ultimate cook and no one deliver better than her.I
think so too. I am influenced by my mother cooking she does thing with perfections
and not afraid to try new thing, my brother also owns several restaurant , my younger sister was the Dessert queen of the family.
I grew up living between different countries, also traveling and exploring became a habit for me throughout the years, I like to explore different cuisines through my travels and my camera,I am originally from North Africa ,and my husband is from Spain , which also influenced my cooking , merging these two cultures together can really elevated the food to another level , in my grandfather hometown Al-Kuru the main corps of that region is dates. When I used to visit my grandfather town always volunteer to go pick all the fresh vegetables and fruits from farm overlooking the river Nile. my husband family owns several olives farms in his hometown Carcelen .Also cooking with that fresh olive oil pressed with old techniques is unbelievable, I can say that my cooking is strongly influenced by Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine,
What leads a microbiologist who is mainly work in laboratory doing clinical work and research to cook ,I guess the kitchen is my lab.
looking forward to post some of my recipes in my next post.* These are some pictures I took during my visit to my in laws olive farm in Carcelen,Spain.
