FEBI'S COOK BOOK

Hello friends, lately I know  I've been delating my posts, sorry because I was finding it hard to squeeze some time for blogging out of my tight schedule... This was something I made last week, and was trying to post this recipe, but as my home was filled with guests this weekend, I got busy with cleaning and outing. This is a very simple recipe made with boneless chicken assembled on skewers and needs to be grilled in the oven. But you can also cook this chicken without wooden skewers on a normal frying pan or skew the chicken on wooden skewers and fry them until all sides are well cooked... I cooked the chicken in oven for approximately 20 minutes, but as I was not happy with its appearance, to burn it a little on outside, I fried them lightly on a frying pan. Its all upto you how want them to be cooked and how you want it, weather on skewers or separate pieces etc. I like it on skewers  as it, attracts, most of the time, the guests and kids....   Now to the...

Hi, Iam up with another sweet post again.... If you people are going mad at me for posting only sweet recipe, please do let me know, I'll try to bring a change... Now, talking about this coconut laddoo or coconut balls, this is one thing I cannot resist eating once made... Whenever my mum makes this at home, I go near the stove and keep drooling over it until she makes them into balls.... the first ball made pops obviously into my mouth, and each balls disappears soon before getting assembled into the plate... its such yummilicious one... This time when I made this, I made it for a special friend in college, who is in her third trimester of pregnancy... I invited her home for giving a small treat and packed some of these for her as an edible gift... Well, I reserved some for me too...:P This is such easy thing to be made at home and all you need is dessicated coconut and condensed milk... thats it. And the procedure too is such easy one.. All you need is mixing of both ingredi...

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...
