“Every person is a new door to a different world”

and that’s exactly what I felt yesterday hosting a cooking class for the Shell Iraq Outpost. These are the first set of photographs Turhaan Samodien had taken, and I couldn’t help myself from posting the whole bang lot! It’s one of those instances where every single person is interesting, every moment is treasured, and every face has a story so similar to your own, yet undeniably unique in its own way… and yes, the actual cooking hadn’t even started yet! Part two to follow as we transcend cultural boundaries through food!
