Yalla, Let's Eat Cookbook Shoot

“What if I fail?” was the first question I repeatedly asked myself when this opportunity fell into my lap… well, guess what?! Amazing things can happen when you take chances, believe in yourself, and work hard. 

I checked a box on my bucket list and PHOTOGRAPHED & STYLED AN ENTIRE COOKBOOK !!! 

If you’ve been following me for a while, you know that I have a deep love and appreciation for cookbooks, and this has been some thing I’ve been wanting to do very badly, but honestly didn’t even know where to begin. 

When Maha from @makedelicioushappen contacted me I was feeling all sorts of emotions after that first phone call! Giddy, nervous, excited, scared- long story short I did it. I believed in myself enough that I would figure out everything that came with this along the way. It was no easy journey, I spent almost 3 months working on this project. Hard work paid off and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the outcome. This book turned out absolutely beautiful! 

I sampled almost every dish in this cookbook and let me tell you, you need to buy it for yourself, and as a gift! It’s available for pre-order on Amazon- the link is in my bio . 

I hope my kids hold this book one day and feel proud of me. They watched me get knocked down and get right back up alot along the way. If you’ve read this far, don’t ever give up on your dreams! When unexpected doors open, walk through them. 

Maha, I’m proud of you and the legacy you’ve left behind for your kids. May Allah (swt) put some much barakah and blessing into this launch- you deserve it!
