Heyy!! salam
I hope this reply finds you well inshallah.

Manal rly has been an icon in the arab world
I remember watching her on cooking shows even as a kid who didn't cook whatsoever.
But over the years,
we have all seen her growth to even greater level whether it was cooking wise or popularity wise.
I'm pretty sure my mom and aunties have binged watched her shows whenever it was on tv haha
I think at some point she had a regular ramadan show back in the 2010s
Tbh, the fact that she lived in so many countries with almost different cultures
is what got her food cooking range to be so varied and not stuck on one culture
I guess good for her for being able to reach a larger audience than if she only targeted one culture food
what I liked is the fact that u mentioned that one of her greatest and earliest supporters was
her own husband ... all I could think of is all the experiments she had him eat LOL
Honestly if I was a cook, I would totally try her recipes ... but I literally suck so
ill leave the cooking to the cooks pppfftt
.
Lastly I just wanna applause u on shining the light on a female iconic figure
to our society ... i appreciate when women like her who work hard aren't overlook
so yah ... great post, every detail u included was enough to not make this post boring
but rather informative on a light level
also +1 for using one photo post hahaha. im a fan of just doing everything on photoshop
then just upload at once.
.
hope to see you soon with a new post
salam
