Hi I read your tags on the toast poll and id like to know if I can come over for dinner tomorrow?/j

No but really though holy shit do you have a cook book or something, I want to hear more recipes from you.

Hi ok first of all ily thank you for spamming my blog and sending me this ask- I will always love talking about cooking, I’m genuinely so passionate about it and love talking about my recipes to anyone who will listen.

Second: I have so many recipes I’d love to share!! Yes literally anything!!! Especially Mediterranean, and west Asian food as that is what I grew up cooking- feel free to dm me or like send me another ask if you want it posted publicly idc if my moots haven’t unfollowed me for unironically reblogging Taylor Swift lyric edits they won’t unfollow me for posting recipes lol- I’ve got some pics on my phone I can add to the bottom of this post

Third: ik you were mostly joking with the whole cook book thing but I actually am in the early stages of illustrating a collection of recipes as a narrative about my experiences with nostalgia, love, family, and growing up in a mixed race home and connecting to my culture

I work as a para to a middle school history classroom by day, but I’m college I studied anthropology and did a final research study on second and third generation middle eastern Americans and how cultural beliefs are tied directly to food and how the passing down of food goes deeper than the recipes themselves but is actually preserving and instilling cultural values found in Bedouin populations in the Middle East-

TLDR I am always happy to talk about food, I am working on a cook book (sort of) but it won’t be out for a long long time, and you are always welcome to eat dinner with me- it would be my honor :)

Pics: rainbow tomato toast, sesame tomato and garlic toast, home made vegetable stock, jook , caramelized plantains, ramen, yellow curry, za’alouk, dolmas, fattoush :)
