Mimi Cooking – A Recipe Blog by Nadia Tabassum

Here at Mimi Cooking, I’ve woven together a tapestry of recipes that are not only dearest to my heart but are also reflections of my journey through kitchen trials, triumphs, and the simple joy of cooking.

From the bustling farmers markets across America where I select fresh produce to the quiet moments of stirring a simmering pot as flavors meld, each recipe is a chronicle of my culinary adventures.

Copy-Cat Sauces

As someone who loves to experiment in the kitchen and create new recipes, and as someone who really likes condiments served by fast food chains, I was inspired to try making my own version of their sauces so I can try them out at home!
