Hi and welcome to My Kitchen Kohl.
I’m a home cook and recipe developer from Brisbane, Down Under. My love for cooking and photography are the essence of this blog, and along with my Middle Eastern heritage, I’ll be posting some exotic cooking on the blog. I chose the name “My Kitchen Kohl” to reflect this, and also – just as kohl beautifies the eye – to illustrate how the dishes that come out of my kitchen are the result of a beautiful time in the kitchen.
I started recipe developing from my love of substitutions – because not everyone’s pantries are the same! I almost can’t ever follow a recipe word for word (yet I love to make my own) and I love quick fixes for little problems that happen, so that a little delicacy and be created out of every disaster!
Please join me on my blogging journey and pitch in with your ideas and feedback. 🙂

Awesome to have you on board! 😀 I love the name of your blog, too… Maybe it’s because I especially looove olives. I’ll be peeping through your blog, too 🙂
