I have always loved to bake. I found cooking difficult, especially after I got married. It took years to get to a level where I am proud of my cooking. Proud that all that experimenting finally paid off and now I dona t freak out at the thought of guests coming for dinner, I welcome it. Every Ramadan for the last 6 years I have raised money for charity with my children. We have sold cakes, sweets, balloons, absolutely anything! This year I started teaching children how to cook online. Which gave me the idea to write a cookbook of the recipes I was teaching them. Recipes that are easy to make and that are perfect for those new to cooking. The whole idea behind these classes was to teach the next generation how to cook hearty homely meals easily. The profits from this cookbook will help out individuals in desperate need of something, whether it be medical assistance, a house, clothes, rations, a wedding, anything that they cana t get the help for easily. I am targeting, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan as I have reliable people on the ground that can check to see that it is a genuine cause and send evidence of where the money will be spent. I will update the website www.kitchenmagiccookbook.com regularly with the profits made from the cookbook and which projects have been funded. Thank you for your support, I pray you all love the dishes you cook from this book and they bring joy to your family as they do to mine!
