My name is Mary Pacaj and I have a passion for cooking. Baking is my all time favorite thing to do and I love sharing my foods with friends and family. I have always wanted to take my talent and spread my hands-on knowledge to others who enjoy cooking as much as I or share with those just starting out on cooking but are a little lost. I am not a chef in the sense that I have went to culinary school nor do I claim I have. I have trialed and errored through cooking for many years and found certain techniques that work for me and some I had to be innovative.
The purpose for The Scraping Bowl is that I can share my know-how with others with an added bonus of visual aids. I will post pictures of most of the steps so that cooking can be made visual. Sometimes when reading a recipe one wishes they knew what that “thing” is supposed to look like. I take the guess work out of complicated steps by posting aids.
I will be using my own recipes and my favorite PUBLIC recipes (recipes from the internet or recipes that are so common who knows where they started). If I post recipes that are not my own, I will always disclose my source so there is no confusion on where I obtained such a recipe. I will never post recipes from a source that is not public such as cookbooks or other sources that people must pay for.
I hope that The Scraping Bowl is informative and helpful. Enjoy your stay and you are always welcome here!!!
thank you
Dear Ms Pacaj,
Assalamualaikum. I supplicate that this message will find you in good health. I have gotten to know about this webpage from a dear friend called Shariq. I have a semi-charity project that is still in its initial stages and I am working, with a team of of friends, on developing in further. This project is a bakery and sandwich shop that features authentic American and British baked goods, sandwiches and possibly soup; all with a home made touch, with the break baked in-house. I would like to send you an initial presentation, which will will give you a better idea of the project. If you are interested in any aspect of the project – charity or personal investment – please email me so that I can respond with the pdf attachment.
Just a little about me; I am an engineer by trade and currently, I have an investment license to own and operate an electrical engineering company in the Kingdom. This is something I want to do on the side so that I may give back to the community for the sake of Allah. May Allah accept.
I hope to hear from you.
