It’s been 1 year and almost 3 months since my last post! I’ve been wanting to write for a while but just didn’t know where to start. On May 13th 2013 I was celebrating a new job! Well… since then I changed job yet again, got engaged and married in less than a month, relocated to Doha, Qatar, moved twice while in Doha…

Needless to say throughout all these life events food and cooking has always been present!

And then yesterday happened and I knew exactly how to break my loooooooong silence!

I cooked a 3 pan meal ONLY for me!

3 pan meal only for one...guess I really am a blue collar foodie...or else just really enjoy eating my own food (how modest!)

I relocated to Doha by myself. My MOST WONDERFUL husband, Oreste Majeli, is still living in our place in London. He does come to Doha every month which makes of me a very fortunate person!

When I relocated, back in November 2013 I started cooking almost straight away…it’s part of me and was important to make me feel more settled! Two things were VERY important: cooking and finding a good gym! And I got both!

I started shy I must admit…cooking only for one…hummm…not the most exciting thing! But baby step by baby step I found not only I wanted to cook simple meals but also more complex ones even if it was ONLY for me. And yesterday I found myself cooking a risotto involving a three pan preparation – I was extremely pleased and proud of myself!

Below are a  few shots of my “Food For One” meals:

And now that I broke my silence I shall be sharing good food, good wine, wonderful moments more often…

Inshallah!
