আমি আদিবা নাওয়ার। আমি student. আমার সবসময়ই খাওয়া-দাওয়া ভালো লাগে। ৯-১০ম শ্রেণীতে গার্হস্থ বিজ্ঞানের প্র্যাকটিক্যল করার মধ্য দিয়ে আমার রান্নার প্রতি আগ্রহ জন্মায়। রোজ নতুন রান্না শিখছি। এখনো ভালো মতো আয়ত্তে না আনতে পারলেও যা শিখছি/শিখেছি তার মধ্যে অনুশীলন জারি রেখেছি। আমার গর্ব করে গল্প করার মতো তেমন কোনো রেসিপি শেয়ারের স্মৃতি নেই।

I take pride in sharing stories about cooking, but I don’t have any specific recipe to share at the moment.
