About your tutor Aicha
I'm a software engineer, a mom, and a passionate home cook from Syria, where I grew up surrounded by rich, authentic flavours. Cooking has always been a joy for me, and my dishes have become favourites among family and friends. Through this course, I want to share the original taste of Syrian home-cooked meals, bringing the warmth and depth of our cuisine to others. Teaching these recipes allows me to connect my love for food with my heritage, and I hope to inspire others to enjoy cooking as much as I do.
