My Ken Job is Lunch

Cooking, for me, is not just about creating mouthwatering dishes; it's my canvas, my creative outlet, my happy place, and a way to connect to my arabic roots. Each moment in the kitchen is a chance to express myself and bring joy to others through food.

Lebanese cuisine, with its emphasis on fresh ingredients, aromatic herbs, and the perfect balance of textures and flavors, has had an enduring influence on how I approach cooking. It's about celebrating the simplicity of ingredients while creating complex, harmonious flavors that linger on the taste buds.

Growing up in a household where the kitchen was the heart of the home, I always found solace there. From the sizzle of garlic and olive oil in a hot pan to the comforting aroma of freshly baked bread, I find pure delight in every step of the cooking process.

An Ice Cube in the Cocktail of Life Changes

Life has its twists and turns, and my journey to becoming a nutritionist was no different. After years of soul-searching and not quite knowing what career path to pursue, I asked myself, “Self, what would Ina Garten do?” The answer was simple; put forth thou fervour unto thy artistry, as Shakespeare would probably say! I decided to follow my heart and enroll in nutrition school. It was a pivotal moment in my life, where my love for cooking and my desire to make a positive impact on people's lives finally converged.
