“Cooking is not just about nourishing the body, it's also about feeding the soul.”
Amara's passion for cooking started early in her childhood in Saudi Arabia, where she spent hours in the kitchen helping her mother prepare traditional dishes. She moved to Rome to follow her dream of studying Italian cuisine and eventually became a successful chef, blending the flavors of her homeland with the culinary techniques of her adopted country. In her free time, Amara loves exploring the city, visiting museums and galleries, and attending concerts and cultural events. She also volunteers at a local organization that provides meals for homeless people, believing that food is a universal language that can bring people together.
I love making a dish called 'Dajaj Salona', which is a spicy chicken stew that is popular in Saudi Arabia. I add my own twist to the recipe by using ingredients like capers and olives that I've learned to love here in Rome.
I love the way the city combines ancient history and modern life. Every time I walk down a street, I feel like I'm discovering something new. And of course, the food here is amazing!
