Hello everybody. I have been sharing my recipes for years but doing it on a website is new to me.  To tell you a little bit about myself.  I’m 45 yrs of age. I have 3 children and 2 granddaughters. I’ve been living in Abu Dhabi for 7 years now. My hobby is cooking and cross stitching. I love listening to music. There should be music in the kitchen!!! Also I love to watch action and spy movies. I am also interested in learning new things specially about different cultures.  I hope you enjoy my recipes.  xoxo Georgette
