Whole Wheat Pizza
Amala stays in Qatar; I came to know her through my blog. She first contacted me through my Facebook page to say that she found my recipes useful and that her son Evan likes the cream of spinach soup and scrambled eggs a lot. After that she stayed in touch through my page and eventually […]

Fettucine with Avocado and Cottage Cheese
My ex-colleague, Josceline, frequently puts up pics of culinary delights cooked by her on Facebook. And let me tell you these pics will make you drool. I don’t know how on earth she manages to do all that cooking while looking after her 14 month old daughter, Emily. When I asked Josceline for a pasta […]
