Tasty creation

Amidst self-isolation, many people have been trying their hand at cooking preparing an array of different cuisines, and it seems British pop star Dua Lipa also falls into this category.

Th 24-year-old singer is currently in quarantine with her boyfriend, Palestinian-Dutch model Anwar Hadid, sharing her daily routine on Instagram, and it seems she’s taking inspiration from her boyfriend’s Arab roots in the cooking department.

The singer recently prepared the Palestinian dish,  maeloubah, which was from a recipe from her boyfriend’s father, property tycoon Mohamed Hadid.

“I haven’t been counting… but day 28471629 and we have a massive chocolate cake with 2 small spoons, a new mani every 3rd day, making Palestinian Maeloubah (thank you @mohamedhadid for the recipe!!” Lipa wrote.
