Embrace

Following along with their own ingredients in their own home kitchens, audience-participants join an interactive Zoom cooking lesson. Over three separate episodes, Yousef, Suzan, and Ameen tell stories of their immigration to Canada while they teach you how to cook a three-course Middle Eastern meal from start to finish.
