About Me 

About the Chef

Welcome, my name is Mera! I have always loved to cook and bake, especially because I use it as a way to express gratitude and love. I chose this class to explore more in the kitchen and learn new things to help me improve my dishes. My mom and grandma have both influenced my time in the kitchen and the theme I decided to choose. The theme I have chosen is food from the Middle East. I was originally born in the Middle East (more specifically Jordan) and I lived there for 8 years, but I feel as if I have drifted away from some cultural aspects. Due to this, I decided that I would reconnect with my culture through food. The dishes I will be making resonate with Middle Eastern classics and some of my family's favorites. Throughout this class, I hope to make dishes that tell a story with every bite!
