My mom never taught me to cook. She wanted my life to exist outside domesticity. But when I emigrated, cooking became a lifeline to my heritage, so I had to learn…and suddenly I felt empowered by cooking. I realized the joy of sharing food with my new chosen family. @ourplace

You can be a woman who loves to cook. You can be a woman who hates it. We should all eat whenever we want, cook whenever we want, and do it on our own terms. For us. #IWD2022

In 2022 let’s make a promise to not desire smallness, cook and eat in shame, or start the year off hating who and how we are.

We launched @FromOurPlace today a company built on the belief that cooking and sharing food together is the best way to reconnect to our health, communities and to 'others'. Because #homecooking cooking is where culture is authentically represented and love is fully expressed.
