I love ideas and recipes from contrasting cultures and I'd like to see more. Good ideas! Too bad you couldn't put real Rum in the Mojito, eh?

&
>both when making these but their so
Both should be 'they're'!
Good luck!

I love you. I have been looking for a good samboosa recipe (though I thought they were called samosas?) for so long.
Anyways, since everyone else has been talking about grammar, I'm going to go with the web design issue... mostly it's not bad, but I have a big problem with the header. I have a kind of weird screen resolution, but on my computer, it has a picture of food and then "middle eastern cooking" over it, except that the words are spaced badly-
"Middl
e
Easte
rn
cook
ing"
and the text color makes it almost impossible to read because it blends in with the picture in the background.
But yeah, other than that, looking good! Thanks for putting this up.

I agree with Kitty that you have used the improper "their", "they're" and "there" in various places. Also, the i should be capitalized when you're referring to yourself. And don't needs an apostrophe. And natural isn't spelled correctly. Some sentences need the first letter capitalized. There's probably more typos/spelling errors like b/c should be spelled out "because". I'd suggest you have a friend look at your hard copy for typo's, etc.

It looks good and you are off to a great start! Just a few suggestions (since you asked!):
First of all, it should say SALAAM & WELCOME (no "s").
Also, mojito's and zucchini lasagna arent very Middle Eastern! Since the blog's name refers to ME Cooking specifically.
A brief history & description of the dish or recipe would help.
Perhaps its country of origin. Also what the dish means to you, why you have selected to put it on your website. It's your blog, personalize it! Where's the passion & love for food and cooking??
Also, I agree with the suggestions given above regarding proper spelling, word usage, grammar, capitalization, punctuation...

Looks like a good start...
My main comments and questions are
1. Are all of the graphics yours or did you copy them from other sites.
2. Are the recipes your own creations or did you copy them from other sites.
You should put a copyright disclaimer on your stuff and give credit to the site where you borrowed stuff.

It's seems you are unable to take constructive criticism, you ask people to check your blog and submit their suggestions, comments, advice...
Then you get defensive and start justifying your mistakes! You dont seem very grateful or appreciative!
If you cant stand the heat......

The first thing I noticed is the word "their"
You would say their for ownership, such as "that house is their's"
The word "They're" is a contraction for "they are" such as "They're going home today."
There is a general world for every other occasion, which you should use in your recipes.
"There are 5 cloves of garlic in this recipe"
