About

Welcome to cheesecakeforall.com, my name is Maryam. I work in a full time job as an Instrument Engineer. This blog takes a part in my free time “well, not literary” with a goal of sharing knowledge, discovering new stuff and enjoying life in different way. Since I started my kitchen adventures, I found that cooking teaches wisdom and opens your eyes on a pleasures that you didn’t know about or even heared. I’ve also learned that cooking shows you how precious life is. Here, I offer recipes for the body, words for the heart and pictures for the soul. Enjoy!

As simple as that

Cheesecake for all is a cooking blog “almost”. It provides a wide range of recipes from all over the world “you will find a lot of American .. however”. No, it’s not specialized in cheesecake recipes if you are wondering! Why did I choose cheesecake to be my blog’s name? There is a long story behind that.

What is different in this blog ?

It might be different for some people, and may not for the others! Representing my ideas, thoughts, and feelings in different way by covering it with hobbies such as cooking , writing and photography can make a huge change in someone’s life. This can be my life! who knows?

What does it add ?

I kept asking myself this question for a long time. I don’t know what does it add to you, since it differs from person to another. However, it adds a lot of experience to me in many different fields. It did change my life to the better, which I appreciate. Finally, I found that the answer for this question belongs to you.

The story behind the blog

Since I was a child, I always dreamed to visit new places, see different cultures and learn more how people think and behave. However, the most important thing I wanted to learn is to be responsible. That’s why I wanted to travel “alone”. I wanted to discovering myself and facing the real world with it’s challenges. In addition to that, I also wanted to know my limits and break the boundaries I’ve created.

At that time I’d never thought that this dream would be my reality one day.

Today, I’m proud to say that I’ve visited the US for several times. I’ve seen NY, TX, FL and CA. I’ve also visited Canada, Dubai, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. I’m grateful for the experience, I did learn a lot and I’m waiting for more to come!

How did this blog came to life? During one of my visits to the US, which was in Sugarland TX. I was free with no plans, I decided to take a book I bought few days ago and go to the nearby Starbucks. I entered the café and ordered my favorite drink “hazelnut latte”. Then I started reading.

I felt more like a citizen than a visitor and that’s what I was seeking from the beginning “I don’t mean that I’m not proud to be a Kuwaiti, what I mean is that I wanted to know what if I’m in other one’s shoes”! to feel the feelings of this man or that women is what I wanted. I used to put myself on behalf of others. If I was in his or her situation what would be my feelings, how would I react ? I like this type of visualization because it will provide you with very rich experience!

Which means that you don’t need to got involved into situation to have the experience ! you can say that I became an american at that moment !!

going back to my book, it was really interesting. I started to write down my notes, my feelings was so good, in that moment I remembered that I used to write stories in my childhood. I liked to present my thoughts and feelings to other people , especially by writing, who I don’t know and also they don’t know me! the reason is that I don’t want people judge my writings in regard of knowing me. I’m seeking people read what I’m writing because it worth reading, not because of me!

Sharing something I know with people makes me feel good. I always wanted to be useful in this life but I didn’t know how and where. That made me very nervous and feeling empty. So while writing these notes I told myself I have to share this with others. But the question I raised to myself is how ? I wanted something different, something special while presenting my thoughts and believes. Not the serious “call it normal” way of writing. I wanted to represent something enjoyable and beneficial in the same time.

I kept the sharing thought in my mind until I find an answer to the “different demand”. While I was searching for a cheesecake recipe in the internet I found a blog which gave me the whole idea! Cooking blog with very personal style. The writer shared her cooking experiences while make the recipe she is presenting. At that moment the picture came crystal clear to me. I can share my thought with people while cooking! I like to cook very much to the point that I used to tell my mom I’m gonna open a restaurant. To be honest I’m not expert nor professional, I just like to write, cook and taking pictures. So I decided to start learn how to blog,this is my first experince in blogging, taking pictures with a professional camera. Yes the camera I’m using is my sister’s camera not mine.

Thanks for both of them (my sister and the blog writer).

To make the story short I’m trying to be authentic. everything in this blog I did it, created it, picture it,wrote it, and cook it.

For more information a FAQ page will be added shortly.

 

In the end all what I wish for you is to enjoy with love,

Maryam
