Cooking is something I've always loved to do. I like trying new recipes and developing my own. I love to share what I know about cooking. I cook just about everything, from American to Middle Eastern to Asian. I also love baking. My inspiration comes from my background. I am Palestinian American. My hubby is Bulgarian and Turkish. I am around all kinds of different flavors. I love to mix them all up to create different crazy stuff! I like to cook ethnic dishes. These include Arabian, Indian, Turkish, Mexican, Chinese and many more. I also love American food. I like baking as well. My favorite desserts to bake are American. Cookies, cakes, and brownies are my specialties. My mom taught me basic Palestinian cooking. I incorporate her teachings to my everyday cooking, and develop new methods. Everyone loves my hummus and baba ghanoush. We've all burned something, added too many spices, or forgot the salt. I have many cooking tragedies as do most people. My favorite one was when I tried to make protein bars. They were expensive to make, and tasted horrible! Blah!
