Cooking is one of my few hobbies. Other hobbies are, sewing and writing poems. I can take an old sofa and make it look like it is new. Those are a few things that I enjoy doing in my spare time. I started posting recipes on the web since 2004 at www.miriammalaquias.com. At that time only my family members were my main visitors to my website, then friends, and now a few more from different parts of the world. I then changed to www.mirecipe.com and started to blog. Now I am here at Taste of Tanzania. I have been around for 6 years.
