I recently found out about your blog through somali topix. And i was immedietly fascinated by your story. Mansha Allah. And even more fascinated by your cooking skills. May Allah reward you for the wonderful recipes and dua you are giving to the world. I am looking to improve my cooking and learn atleast 10 different somali dishes. Starting with sabayah, that's the hardest. So, thank you again. Ramadaan Kariim. Salaamu Calaikum.
