I love to cook and experiment in the kitchen. It is my way of relaxing after a day at work or on the weekends. I love to try new foods, and I love to challenge myself in the kitchen. I love to bake sweets treats like cookies and cupcakes, and I also enjoy making dishes that I find challenging. Soup is also something I enjoy making. My mother is Syrian so I love to recreate the recipes that have been passed down for generations such as hummus and baklava. I recently was given the Magnolia Bakery cookbook, and I have enjoyed recreating their recipes. I also baked 8 apple pies in one day for a bake sale that sold within the first few hours of the sale!
