00:00I was born into the hospitality.
00:01So at the age of three or four, my dad would say I was trying to go to the refrigerator,
00:05trying to grab a glass or water.
00:07And I kind of grew up in the industry.
00:10So when I went back to my parents, I was there for nearly a decade.
00:15When I returned back, I feel an outsider, a country that I was born in.
00:20I didn't speak English. I didn't understand the culture.
00:22I miss kindergarten, older to 8-year-old.
00:25And I was learning Quran, which we write from right to left.
00:29You know, not left to right.
00:30So it was a lot of adjustment.
00:32But I find myself spending a lot of time with my mom and making up for lost time
00:37because being in the kitchen.
00:39So by me being in the kitchen with my mom, I learned more about her, about life, about food.
00:48And that was my inspiration to continue living the life I'm living now, which is being a chef.
00:59And that was my dad, I mean, my dad, yeah.
01:02So what I was looking forward to the kitchen with my mom
01:04and my dad, yeah.
01:05And I think I definitely feel like that was the traditional way of providing my mom
01:07and how beautiful a rien that I had been living now.
01:08And I'm actually learning to hop on to me
01:09because I'm getting up for two ways to be in the kitchen with my mom
01:10and why my mom and me being in the room.
01:13So this is a family that I have my nei Nikki,
01:15and I think that there is a little bit asking him.
01:17So this is a family that just started to appear in this kitchen
01:22and the cheaper reason.
