AssalamuAlaikkum(Peace be upon you),
Welcome to Kenzcuisine.
Myself
I am the author of this blog.You can call me Kenz, my most used nickname. My first name is Khansa. I
am wife to an awesome husband and mom to two princesses. I am an Indian, born
in Kerala, but have led an expat life since childhood and still leading
one.
I am a self taught baker & cook. I am also a dessert enthusiast. If I were stranded in an
island I would survive just on desserts. Yes I have a terrible sweet tooth. I
started baking cakes, cookies and making desserts since I was ten. I developed
interest in cooking foods other than desserts and baking, only after I got married
and had no option but to cook rather than surviving on takeouts. But gradually started to love cooking food just like making cakes and desserts. Thanks to my
foodie hubby for the constant support and encouragement. For the basic day to
day native food cooking, my first guru was my hubby (Yes, he is a fabulous cook
and am a great fan of his Biriyani). And I had a small notebook where I had jotted
down basic recipes from my mom before I left home after marriage. Now I have
heaps of cooking/baking books that I buy whenever I come across one. I am a bookworm, now food being a passion food related books are too an obsession.
Why a Blog?
I left home and started a new home of
our own far away from home. I spent my time mostly browsing the web looking for new recipes through various food sites and was fascinated with the world of food that
was online, the pictures and the beautiful recipes. Soon I too fell in love
with the concept of food blog. And it was just after my first one was born , I
started this blog. It was just for the fun of having one of my own where I can jot down
the recipes I have developed my own or that ones I have tried and tested. That
is how this blog was born with the name –
A Novice’s Cuisine. As I was a complete novice then. Now very recently we
gave the blog a new look, changed the name to Kenzcuisine and bought
my first ever domain, kenzcuisine.com.
The Blog Journey
Though I started the blog since long I was not that
much into it as I should have been. I started this just as I entered
motherhood, so there have been long intervals between posts. Most of my
blog readers are my family and friends. As motherhood and my higher studies topped
my priorities for a while, my passion to cook & blog took a backseat. Now
as I resume blogging again, I believe I can do justice to my blog Insha Allah.
Photograph and Recipe
Credits
All the photos found here are taken by me. I am no expert
in photography so you can expect that level of pictures here. Initially I used
a bridge point and shoot camera later switched to a DSLR. I do love to develop
my photography skills, maybe someday Insha
Allah.
Recipes found here are from my family, friends, from
some cookbooks, TV shows, other food sites and some developed by myself. I do
make sure I give credits if the recipe is from someone else.
Thank you for taking your time and visiting my space here.
