Hi! My name is Dana. I'm arabic don't worry i'm not from al-qaieda i dispise them i'm from bahrain it's actually close to saudi arabia very little country but alot to learn from nothing special in it just that it has alot of memories in my life, love that place!So im a typical teenage girl who loves music as much as i love food and i even try to combine them together.I am a total hip and down to earth girl, I love vegetables other than other kids(no offence)But there are some in particular which i dispise:tomatoes(unless their sundried tomatoes),red peppers,avocado. My passion for food and cooking started at not that young a age, It took sometime to figure out what is it's purposes and it's astonishments! So i first started baking, With a pinch of inspiration and a dash of patience belive me it's worth every second of it! I've been inspired by my family of course and from the food network company! Because of it's shows like: Nigella's shows,Bill's food,Racheal Ray 3o min meals,Giada d Spaghetti Cakes Ice-Cream My favorite family cooking tradition is that the food is done in no tome yet it looks like it took forever to make plus it tastes heavenly and i respect and honor that and am glad to carry it on as an un-breakable tradition as simple as it sounds it's amazing!And not just that but theres always a secret ingredient waiting to be discovered it's a mystery to me! So you see food or cooking is an adventure or a mystery waiting to be known and sometimes it's not an ingredient it's love! It's the mood you cook with! It's an ingredient to me, love it's within every single one of you so use it in something precious don't waste it. My mother ofcourse and my dad believe it or not! And my grandmothers and my uncle. When i was 7 i tried to make pizza out of pita bread and i did! Exept for adding or preferbly wasting salt it's was too salty but other than that it was great and i even made the sauce out of real tomatoes!It was a disaster!!
