Digital Kitchen Scale
Weigh flour and butter the way bakery recipes intend.
Why I use it: Essential for croissants, brioche, and bread — cups lie, grams don’t.

Living with My Cousin
After we lost our parents, Salma and I were separated. Living with my cousin was the hardest — scholarship applications, learning to clean and cook, working between school, and watching Salma get expelled until she finally seemed to figure things out.

A Day Later
Salma was with Mum when she died. I was in boarding school and didn't hear until a day later. After the burial Salma wouldn't go home — and when Dad died, it was just the two of us in the hospital.

My Kitchen
Baking and cooking gear I actually use
Nesting Mixing Bowls
A set of sturdy bowls for doughs, batters, and mise en place.
Why I use it: Every bake starts here — banana bread, red velvet, pizza dough.
Heavy Rimmed Baking Sheets
Sheet pans that don’t warp when the oven gets hot.
Why I use it: Croissants, roasted veggies, and cookies all need a reliable tray.
Every recipe has a story
I started this blog to share the food I love making — and the people and moments that inspire each dish. Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
