the older i get the more i appreciate my mum cooking the things she did when i was younger. considering she doesn't even like cooking all that much and was still working full time back when i was a kid, i'm so impressed when i look up some of the recipes she made and seeing how much effort it actually was.

#lily talks #i also think that i was incredibly fortunate to grow up in a family open and enthusiastic about making food from all over the world #it did a lot to make me love cooking #i was thinking about food that makes me feel nostalgic and unironically the first thing that came to mind was maqluba #certainly a more special occasions kinda thing but... my mum just... made that #i think in a way it was a nostalgic dish for her as well but still the fact that she just randomly made this at home is wild to me #ngl i miss that it's been years since i've had it #i sadly don't have the means to even attempt this at my appartment but perhaps i will make a request when i visit the next time #it'll be fun actually helping out and not just being a kid “helping” in the kitchen lol
