mimi's cooking

I grew up in Algeria North Africa , we like to cook and also we like to eat...we celebrate everyday by cooking three meals . As a woman , I had to learn how to prepare a meal for a family of six, it didn't take long to understand that following a recipe was not an option .My mother would say ..(look what's in the fridge and make something the family will enjoy)..I think that was the best cooking lessons I had . Cooking is a way of meditation to me , when I am in the kitchen, my worries go away...my heart always warm with good memories . I never say no to hosting a party and most of it because it makes me happy .
