Nadia's Worldly Cuisine Experience

Introduction: My cooking lesson standouts have been from teaching a fellow classmate my version of baklava through simple step-by-step directions catered to their specific learning experience needs. I believe that the two difficulties most have in this lesson is pulling apart, without tearing or ripping, the individual, very fine sheets of phyllo dough and doing the final cut through of the completed layering before baking in the oven. My approach lets students know that messing up is okay; you won't always understand an instruction the first time you hear it and Middle Eastern pastries are some of the easiest to make with the right instructor! On the private chef aspect, I believe that my unique twists and takes on dishes from many parts of the world leave your taste buds humming with an unforgettable memory. I create lasting memories that, from time to time, linger on your palate through my art and passion for cooking learned from a family in Egypt, Germany, and Norway with soul. I enjoy opening my consumers' minds, taste buds and senses to cuisines, ways of cooking and broadening my fellow mid-westerners to the elusive, exotic and unknown delicacies never smelled, touched, seen or consumed. I want them to have a love for what they indulged and sampled and of what I prepared with a simple love and passion for the never-ending possibilities you are opened to when you take a chance on what they have and want to offer you.
