About Me
Hi! I’m Farah. Born and brought up down south in Chennai, India. Married and moved to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Mother to 2 beautiful, sweet, obedient girls. Hold a masters degree in Business Administration.
I love food, coffee, rainy days, simplicity, ice cream, clothes, elegance, hanging out with my girlfriends, date nights with the husband, sleepover pajama parties with my girls……………….. and other random stuff!
‘I LOVE TO COOK’
Yes! You guessed it right. Started quite early when I was about 12……I remember my mum shooing me outta the kitchen before the tornado struck her clean, beautiful kitchen. Oh! The countless disasters I started off with( not that it’s stopped now!!)……….those burnt cookies, cakes that refused to come outta the pan in one piece, those ‘sponge’ cakes that could break a person skull into two………ACK! I’ve definitely come a long way since then…………. My mum agrees!;)
MY JOURNEY
I started blogging in 2011, on a free platform as a hobby when my oldest daughter turned one. I didn’t expect anything to come out of it….it was merely a place where I could keep all my recipes without losing them!……..But then….complete strangers started visiting and ‘liking’ my page……. AND COMMENTING!! You can imagine the excitement and happiness that followed.
But it all came to a standstill when my second daughter was born. Then, when she turned 4 and off to school I came back to blogging . I upgraded my blog and moved to www.farahscookbook.com and came out with a better looking blog. I taught myself how to take appetizing photos and came back with a bang. BUT ………again a few years down the lane……..I couldn’t keep up! The constant mom guilt, juggling household chores and keeping up with the kids schoolwork lead to a major burnout!
I quit!
I quit!
Fastforward a few years later to 2024, I want to continue my passion again.
Now we need some motivation to start and continue this. Don’t we?
So here we are at the same www.farahscookbook.com but on a completely revamped website, to start off where we left off…………..
So lets hope this new beginning continues for a few years before the next burnout happens 😉

My mind is buzzing with lots of new ideas for the blog………Hopefully can make it happen…..So watch this space for new recipes, routines, meal preps etc and follow and keep in touch with me on social media….
All the work that goes into ‘Farahs Cookbook’ is completely done by me……..right from the cooking, the food styling, the props used, the photography and so on. Not to mention the clean up too!
To all my audience and readers…Thank you for your constant support and encouragement. Farah’s cookbook wouldn’t have been possible without each and every one of you. I would love to hear your comments and feedback which will help me grow my page! Thank you and keep visiting!
Lots of love,
Farah
