Cuisines: Afghan Cuisine
Qualifications: Accredited Food Safety Supervisor
As an Afghan refugee who has called Australia home for over 20 years, cooking has become my way of staying connected to my roots while sharing my culture with others. Feeding people is my true passion - it’s more than just preparing a meal; it's about creating an experience that brings joy and comfort to those who taste my food.
I get an adrenaline kick every time I see people enjoying what I’ve made, knowing that each dish carries a piece of my heritage. Currently, I’m studying to be a professional chef at TAFE, where I’m honing my skills and expanding my culinary knowledge. This journey is about more than just mastering techniques; it’s about channeling my love for Afghan cuisine into a professional craft that can touch even more lives. Cooking allows me to express my love for my homeland and the warmth of Afghan hospitality, no matter where I am.
