Yasmin of Palestine — The Girl Who Knows What “Enough” Looks Like
Yasmin of Palestine — The Girl Who Knows What “Enough” Looks Like
Yasmin of Palestine — The Girl Who Knows What “Enough” Looks Like
Age: 14 Region: Middle East
Yasmin's mother does not believe in recipes.
She believes in looking.
“How much cumin?”
“Enough.”
“How much is enough?”
Her mother peers into the bowl.
“Not yet.”
This is not helpful.
Yasmin has been trying to learn her mother's cooking for years, and she has concluded that the woman is deliberately withholding critical information.
There are no measuring cups.
No timers.
No written instructions.
There is only: “You'll know.”
Yasmin does not know.
Not yet.
But she is learning.
She knows that onions sound different when they're nearly ready. She knows when dough needs more water by the way it pulls against her fingers. She knows that spices smell stronger after they've warmed in the pan.
And she knows something else.
A meal doesn't have to be elaborate to make people feel cared for...
Her Dream: To study food science and nutrition, finding creative ways to help families make nourishing food from the resources available to them.
Her Wonder: “How does someone teach you something she never learned from a book?”
