Assalamo alykum & Welcome to Chapter 13 of Ramadan An Event to Share. Today we have with us Heba Haddad from Heba’s Kitchen. Heba is  a food enthusiast from Kuwait and loves to give a fusion twist to the traditional recipes. She shares with us the recipe of Arabian Nights &  Chicken Mgbos.

I am Heba Haddad from Kuwait, and working as a full-time managing executive researcher. I discovered my hobby of cooking before 5 yrs. And during those years I developed some cooking techniques that mix some criss-crossing cultures’ cuisine, such as the Kuwaiti, Persian, and Egyptian cuisines.  I discovered by practicing that I have the talent of food stylist along with cooking, and a year ago. I bought my first ever professional camera. Although time files like swingy bird, I managed to set my desires in cooking, food styling and teaching people (whom started with my circle of girls, then enlarged to FB and Instagram followers) how to cook. I am trying every day to add something useful, different, and traditional-spirit style. I have managed to publish over 50+ recipes on my social media accounts during the last year, and it is keep coming.

I recently have lunched my cooking-business of rice pudding catering with more than 15 types of flavors under the name of @hum.q8

“Arabian Nights” (Cardamom rice pudding and topped with crushed walnut)

• at-side put 3 eating-spoons of milk + 3 spoons of corn starch + 1 spoon of Cardamom (I used Nescafe’s new Arabian coffee with Cardamom) + 1/2 cup of rose water and mix them together to yield a smooth mixture
