Yes that is what she was! A truly Dazzling and Sparkling Diva!
Selma and I met on Angie’s Fiesta Friday! From aquaintances, we became friends. She was always there with her sweet encouraging comments and warmth. An enthusiastic childlike chuckle with a grace of the lady! Strong and Powerful! What a shame that I just read her About page.
There is a lot that I can say and write today about her but I take this moment on Fiesta Friday to be quiet and more of a listener. A reminder to be Supporting in Silence.
Will post some links to her beautiful creations on Selma’s Table to be inspired again with her creativity and excellence.
Blue Cheese Tartlets with Candied Walnuts
Chermula Spiced Aubergines with Tahini and Feta
Roasted Cauliflower and Hazelnut Salad
Tomato & Chard Crostata with Barber’s Cheese
Juicy Marinated Cherry Tomatoes
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Squares
Lime Ice Cream in Ginger Crisp
Taking it to fiesta Friday this week!

Selma was the one who taught me how to post the recipes in a print format. She will be truly missed.
Not a problem at all, it’s nice to see the photo, it’s a great memory xxxx and you’ve gathered a great selection – I’ll be doing the same!

A lovely tribute and what wonderful food I want to try them all. I’m sure Selma will smile every time one of us connects through her or cooks one of her meals. I just cooked one of her chicken dishes tonight it was truly yum!
Big hugs xx
Big hugs Jusserrs!! I am going to create few soon! ❤️
awe, I did one!

A lovely post, Sonal, a great tribute. Selma created so many wonderful recipes and always with great stories and photos 🙂
I took that photo of Selma on our trip to Shepherds Bush earlier this year, we had great fun shopping in the Middle Eastern supermarkets and had lunch at a Damascene restaurant; we shared a fabulous mezze and this photo was my view of lovely Selma across the table 🙂 it was a great day and I will forever cherish the memory xxx

Selma will always be in my heart, the ambassador cupcakes that she made Jake are one of my all time favourites xx
Mine too Melissa. When she had posted these, I was totally drooling.
