About Our Kitchen
“Where are you from?” is a commonly asked question around the world, particularly in multinational spaces like the UAE.
But in an increasingly mobile world, both virtually and through physical migrations and re-migrations, it is not a simple question, and it often comes loaded with undercurrents of racial, ethnic and socio-economic status. Indeed, the question is actually, “What is your heritage?” Heritage is how we identify ourselves to ourselves, as well as how others place us in the world through their perceptions of our heritage.
