Nobody taught me how to cook. I was born and raised in the states and I was always fed like a princess by my grandmother, mother and aunt who naturally knew how to whip up a feast (Jordanian origins may have something to do with that). They promised to teach me the art of cooking when I got married, however, they did not anticipate that I would be happily married in Lebanon. Being so far away from the gifted ladies in my family, I learned on my own how to make a home cooked meal for hubby and me. Recipe after recipe, I discovered the gift of cooking is a trait that runs in the family and I love being in the kitchen. So I decided to create a blog www.dianasrecipes.com to share my recipes for the newlyweds, for the ones who moved out and don't have the luxury of mom cooking for them, for the ones who need a quick recipe to fit in with their full-time job or full-time parenting.
