I’m Nour, my friends call me Noura. i live in Dubai and I have 2 beautiful children: Ahmad, 9 yrs old and Manal, 7 yrs old.We travel a lot and we love to try the food of the country when we are abroad. This isn’t easy with the kids since they always want to go to mcdonalds!!!However last summer we went to Lebanon for a vacation and since then my children love eating Lebanese food, they keep on asking for a manouche and kafta sandwich…I have no problem cooking all kinds of cuisine. I enjoy inviting my girlfriends for lunch and let them discover my cooking. My sister told me about this website, and I am very happy to be a member and learn more recipes.
