about me

Hi! I'm Aisha! I love to cook and bake. I'm currently in Phase I of the South beach diet and I am enjoying the Phase I recipes on this site!

Favorite Foods:

Hummus, homemade pita and Turkish naan, Bedouin food, pesto pizza, masoor tamatar dal, strawberry-rhubarb pie, greasy juicy hamburgers, fresh mangos.

I love making hummus, and I'm really good at it. Store-bought hummus is a tragedy. Some people seem to think hummus is just for health-nerds and Arabs, but I think that's a bunch of bunk. I am neither a health nut nor am I Arab, and I am the hummus queen, so :P

My favorite restaurant was an authentic Japanese place in my city, but it recently closed. Authentic Japanese food doesn't taste good to most Americans, and that's why most Japanese restaurants here have modified Japanese food (if you don't believe me, ask a Japanese person what they think of our Japanese restaurants...heh).
