I wish they hadn’t rushed her off the stage tbh I could have listened to this for hours

What an incredible talk by such a fascinating person! I could listen to her for hours, she's clearly so passionate about not just food, but the stories that food tells about the people cooking it.

How come I'd never heard of her?! I'm an Egyptian chef such a shame

After all what, in the Garden of Eden, was the crisis over that ushered the very knowledge of all things sinister into the consciousness of man? Food. Whether to eat or not.
