About Me



Welcome to BEAUTY AND COOKING where anything cooking and beauty related happens.  If you enjoy interesting recipes, beauty tips and reviews then you have come to the right place! BEAUTY AND COOKING is a lifestyle blog focused on sharing creativity both in the kitchen and out.

So you want to find out a little bit more about me, huh?  Who is this woman and should I trust her recipes? Can she cook?  Okay then! Let’s get started. I’m Nilufa, living here in Dhaka. I’m a food lover who likes cats, historical romances, costume and period dramas, miniature things, movie series and sleeping to the sound of rain.
So, I started my blog (BEAUTY AND COOKING) as a simple creative outlet for me to express my love for all things food, eating and cooking, in hopes of starting an online community.
 Those who are tired of eating out every day, those who want to learn how to cook or those that already have a family to feed and want to try out new things. I hear you! There’s a wide range of things you can find here from healthy food to indulgent food. Pick whatever you like and whatever fits your lifestyle. My food is a balance between healthy food, normal food and food that tastes-so-good-but-is-oh-so-bad for you.
I’m no chef, unless being home chef counts. I have no formal training, just lots and lots of trial and errors while I make mistakes and learn as I go along in the kitchen. I try to admit to these mistakes on the blog and to be as honest as I can, even if it’s unhealthy for my ego but hey, no one’s perfect.
And hey, thanks for being here. I genuinely appreciate it…and you.
