about me

Ramadan Kareem


Thanks for visiting my page and reviewing my recipes. I found Zaar after I got married and it's been such a lifesaver and so much fun. I enjoy the games and DH and DS enjoy the food!I usually work as a surgical tech but since my son was born I moved into my new profession as a stay at home mom. It's a nice change I've been enjoying it and it gives me more time to COOK! I like to share recipes that I enjoy or have eaten at some of my fav places. I'm a San Diegan currently living in New York with my Husband and our 15month old Son.








When I first came to zaar I recipe selected mostly 4 and 5 rated recipes but now after playing several games and seeing the different ways people review. I realize so many recipes miss a good chance. So now I just go by ingredients or a good idea and choose my recipes based on that. I've been lucky enough to grow up eating a variety of cuisines from various cultures and have eaten at some really great restaurants from hole in the wall to 5star. So I let my palate do the choosing and so far I've had pretty good luck picking recipes.

I don't generally rate recipes by cooking time or exact measurement of ingredients unless it's a baking recipe or the temp and time were just way off. I also won't give a bad rating because of my lack of ingredients or skill. I don't measure when I cook unless it's baking. I give the recipe a good read and eyeball the amounts. This works for me. I know everyone has different tastes and I will be hard pressed to give a rating of 3 unless it just really didn't work for me. I don't see any reason to hurt anyone's feelings when I can just give a detailed review of my changes or no rating instead.

Favorite Foods:

I like to cook Italian because it's easy flavorful food that anyone likes. My favorite foods are Californian Mexican,Lebanese, Egyptian and Sea Food. I'm from California and living in New York you can't find California Mexican food so I miss this and like to make many Mexican dishes with my own twist. My Husband and I both love Spicy food! I also make Pizza once a week it's a great fast dinner and I can put whatever I want and who doesn't love pizza? I like to learn new ideas on common recipes to make them more fun! I LOVE Sauce and feel a flavorful sauce really makes the meal.I also love condiments (especially mustard), lemons, limes, olive oil , olives, pickles, arabic soda and anything with vinegar

My favorite meal is a toasted whole grain bread with lovely smoked salmon, cream cheese, a light caper mustard sauce, olive oil, arugula and tomatoes on the side. Any restaurant that serves a nice variation of this dish has my vote. It would definitely be my last meal.
