From Surrealist to La Mère Culinaire

“There is nothing wrong with change, if it is in the right direction”
Winston Churchill

The last time I blogged was back in 2005! That was quite a long time back.

Back then my blog was about my artwork, creative non-fiction writing and poetry.

Here I am, six years later with a totally new life!

Surrealist is still in me but has been reined for a little while and is waiting to be unleashed sometime soon in the body of the partially-new-me La Mère Culinaire!

Since 2005 I had a few blank years, then in 2008 got married to an extremely awesome man, 2009 gave me my first baby boy and 2010 gave my second boy and 2011 gave me the courage to write and start blogging again! A lot to absorb when you’ve never imagined your life to take this turn so fast! Yes yes… it is fast for me the Surrealist but not for me the Mère Culinaire!

Here I am now, a wife, a mother of two boys. Still loving art but now applying it differently. Now, it’s all about applying the art of parenting and the culinary arts in my daily life. Two things which have become very important aspects of my life.

You’ll soon see me blogging about recipes, parenting, interesting gadgets, and of course Art and Design.

In the meantime, enjoy a flashback of the metamorphosis …

But before that I’d like to thank a few people:

-My mother for always being on my case on how to be a good parent and cook!

-My husband Ahmed gave me the final push to do it!

- My sister Niftee for making me design my own page

- My sister Shamma for teaching me to dare and create my own touches to existing recipes

-Washy for coding my blog and putting up with my constant pickiness

- Aliya Lee Kong a home chef whose blog inspired me to take cooking to the next level and enjoy it!
