Hello. I’m Rita. And Welcome on Rita’s Notebook!

As best as I can, I try to live my life by this inspiring quote:

“You will face many defeats in your life, but never let yourself be defeated.”

Maya Angelou

But first, let me introduce myself to you,

I’m a Canadian living in the beautiful city of Montréal, Québec, where I live my passion for food and writing. Of course, I love to take care of my hair and I’m a bit obsessed with makeup products. Just a little bit though. And I love both coffee and tea.

When I’m not writing and hanging out with friends, I’m usually enjoying cooking and trying new things to share with my family and friends. Since, I’m not a professional chef,  most of my recipes reflect my personal taste and my family’s heritage.

I don’t have a specific type of cuisine that I love more than the other, but I enjoy cooking recipes from every corner of the Globe; from Asia to South America, and with stops in Africa and of course North America.

It would be also a pleasure for me to introduce you to some unknown and yet delicious dishes that are part of my African heritage in the hope that you will enjoy them as much as I do.

Make sure to check out my recipes and tips every week. Enjoy.
