Welcome!
Hi. My name is Shameem and I am a passionate cook. I mean it. If I have a day, or even a bit of time, there is nothing I would rather do (and I mean nothing), than to cook. My friends and family appreciate this habit, but often wonder about me. Why must I make everything from scratch? The answer: because I can, and because it makes sense to me to do so. If I can make something for myself, I see no reason to take in the preservatives, extra ingredients, or even cost of having someone else do it for me. I love to cook, and chances are, if you are reading this, you do too. I hope you will enjoy my blog.
