My name is Rifka Imam. I am a Sri Lankan housewife living in japan. The culinary arts have always intrigued me, even at a young age. But by being a mother of 5, I dedicated more time into perfecting my skills in the kitchen to learn how to cook diverse dishes that catered to all their different tastes. This made me acquainted with dishes from various countries of the world and assorted flavours. My speciality is Indian food, as I love how the spices come together to form a flavourful dish. However, I am also proficient when it comes to Italian, Chinese and Sri Lankan food. When it comes to the sweeter side of cooking, I adore baking and decorating cakes. Having made countless birthday cakes for my children, my skills in cake decorating grew significantly. I hope I bring delight to all your families with my recipes.
