Sarah al Hamad: "cardamom and lime, recipes from the Arabian Gulf"


A cook book from the Arabian Gulf

Sarah al Hamad has ventured to nail down that mystery, transform it into a simple recipe book and unravel the enigma.

Sarah,

Chokran for your post. I agree with you, but I remember people of your country (football players) always asking "Mr. Caesar! ask them (hotel cuisine) more rice...!" - and, I dislike rice very much! The rice came, and I had to eat that! I prefer potatoes... Eh eh eh [sorry me].

I understand nothing about kitchen and I'm here, just to be with you and wish the better for your life (...)
By the way:
- "Viva la tecnologia!"
remember? I would like you translate(read) any posts about a lot of things I wrote in my blog!

I invite you to know my mother! I put her(photo) in a post of Mother's day (last 2th May)

Receive,
my best regards

César Ramos
