FEBI'S COOK BOOK

Hi friends, I am up with another post again.... Now this is something which I made long back, this was post was delayed as it was a guest post for my friend, rafeeda's, blog,  The big sweet tooth . As it was a guest post for her blog it had to be first featured on her blog and I was waiting for her time, as her blog was up with a guest post every saturdays. And why would it not be, coz for a wonderful blog like hers, anyone would love to do a guest post to be featured on it....  When I came across her blog at first, I was moved a bit by its name, as I thought this was the most appropriate name for my blog, for a sweet lover like me..... This is a blog with wonderful posts and mostly with good writings... I love rafee's narrations of her daily life and daily events going on in her life.... Love it... Wish i had good language skill like hers.... How about visiting her space to see how she has welcomed my guest post for her blog....  Click here Talking about this...

  About a month back, I got an invitation from a blogger friend asking me to do Ramadan special guest post for her blog, a blog which was totally new to me. I was excited but at the same time hesitated as I was really busy a t home. But some how I managed to do a post for her blog, and sent her my entry. The day my post was posted on her blog, I simply made a visit to her blog and something caught my eye, which said 'food and photography tips'. I was unsure about the depth of the articles that was discussed under that topic, but I bookmarked that page in my mind. Weeks later, after all the celebrations of Ramadan and Eid was over, when life returned to the normal routine and when I managed to have some free time for me, I slowly switched on my laptop and logged in to this blog. I clicked this icon of favorite topic of mine. And my! I was surprised to see a whole world of food  photography and several oppurtunities to explore my passion for food photog...

trifle pudding made by me.  Recently, I've been busy with cookery contest, that I put my blog starving without posting any recipes.... Now, I feel it  a great responsibility to feed my readers with more  great recipes after winning the 'excellent chef' title... I had no hope of winning the competition I lately attented, as it was loaded with really great participants with really great recipes.... I see it as just a blessing of God that I won. Thank u God. Fact that I won this  'Excellent Chef' title, But I think I have still got lots to learn, and that I'm better than no good.... 4 years back when I was fleed to U.A.E from India, I had no clue about cooking. All I had was a book, and a book full of Umma's recipes. My Umma is my guru. From there started my cooking expedition... Also I cannot leave out mentioning the facebook page 'Friends cookys' where I started photographing my recipes and posting them. This page also played an influential role...
