In the mood to cook?
While we all practice social distancing and staying safe at home, we can take this time to slow down and take care of ourselves. One way to do this is by preparing your own food! Cooking or baking can be therapeutic through the process of prepping, preparing and yielding results from your efforts can feel good!
There’s also something satisfying about eating something you’ve taken the time to make. And if you’re the type that can’t relate and the thought of being in the kitchen working with recipes and steps stresses you out, there are some very simple and encouraging people we’d like to introduce you to!
This has become the time for everyone to show us their skills in the kitchen and we’re living for this type of content on our feeds! If you’re on the lookout for a recipe to learn, check out these Bahrain based chefs and foodies who are sharing their recipes! Whether you want to learn how to make homemade bread, curious about how to grill the perfect steak, tweak your creamy pasta recipe, or find out ways to eat healthier, these are the accounts to check out in Bahrain. If you’re like us and find recipe videos so satisfying to watch, clear your schedule and let’s dive in!
