I am an Ethiopian, married, a mother of three children, a grandmother and a New Yorker. For decades, I was working full time. At one point, I was a student too. However, nothing changes my love of cooking for my family every day, including my relatives and friends. In general, my hobby is cooking and creating my own twist to any food I have tasted.
The other matter close to my heart is the humanitarian issues that exist in Africa and around the world due to conflicts and natural disasters. While I was working in United Nations, in the Department of Humanitarian Affairs, I learnt about the continuous efforts of the humanitarian community to alleviate the human suffering.
Therefore, while I share my recipes, I voluntarily promote the humanitarian organizations, at their consent, who are actively involved in assisting especially the Ethiopian people in time of conflict and natural disasters.
The Humanitarian Organizations posted on this website are the following, I hope you will visit their websites and observe their achievements, activities and needs:

Yewoin,
Selam endemin nesh! First of all I would like to say THANK YOU VERY MUCH for all the recipes and the nutritional infos that you have on your site. My name is Kidist and I am taking diet and nutrition class. we are required to do 3 day diet analysis project and of course I am Ethiopian and I almost always eat Ethiopian food and had such a hard time figuring out the nutritional info but as soon as i found your site I got it. It really helped me. I wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH again. It is nice to have an adult mentor, helper, elder especially when it is 'yehager lij'.
Thank you again
Kidist
