First of all, welcome to cheesecakeforall.com blog, my name is Maryam, I work as an Instrument Engineer as a full time job. This blog is created in my spare time with a goal of  sharing our knowledge together, you and me. What I mean by that I’m here to teach and learn as well, of course not teaching  engineering or discussing any technical stuff, butt sharing the wisdom of  cooking  as it emerges with  self improvements and positive thinking topics.On the another hand, sharing the wisdom of  mixed recipes for body and soul as you can call it.

As simple as this

Cheesecake for all is specialized in Cheesecake recipes. Also it provides a wide range of all kind of recipes from all over the world, especially the middle eastern ones which are well known in the Arabic culture. Knowing how to cook something new and maybe never known before is a wonderful and challenging thing to do. I’m here to represent my culture in a different way as I guess !

So is it a normal recipes blog ?

It might for some people, and may not for others ! Having a different way to present your ideas, thoughts, feelings and believes covered with hobbies such as cooking , writing and photography may change someones life, you can never tell.

The story behind the blog

Since I was a child, I always dreamed to visit new places, see different cultures and know more ways of thinking. But the most important thing is to handle the responsibility of myself. That’s why I wanted to travel “alone”. Discovering myself and face whatever challenges that appear, are few reasons to want to be alone in my trip. In addition I also wanted to know my limits and break the boundaries surrounding me.

At that time I’d never thought that this dream will be my reality one day. Even if an angel came to me and tell me that you will get your dream I wouldn’t believe him.  why? their are a lot of reasons for that, the first reason is our culture. A lot of parents still until now they don’t allow there daughters to travel alone abroad!

The happy news is since that time till now that I visited US four times. In these visits I stayed in NY, TX and CA. I’m really grateful for the whole experience.

So how did this blog come to life? In my last visit, note that all my visits where for business in behalf of my company,  at the last day, I was free since I finished my work one day before leaving, which was great! having the whole day for me was a good experience. I took a book which I bought few days ago and went to a nearby Starbucks, ordered my favorite coffee ”hazelnut latte” and started reading.

I felt like a citizen more 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.

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

Maryam
