Soon after finishing my studies as a social worker, I figured out this wasn’t the kind of job I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I made the decision to quit my job and travel the world.
While travelling I fell in love with the world and found out that you have to chase your dreams and that you can make your hobby into your job. That is how the plan started to do something with my passion for cooking and good food. Especially because I love that eating together bonds people.
Therefore I started working as a kitchen help to gather experience. Slowly I worked my way up as a chef in a small Italian restaurant.
Meanwhile I kept travelling, gather experience(i.e. helping with Italian cooking courses), and tried finding a way to form my future career.
Because I adore the world this much, I find it important to contribute to sustainability and prevention of climate change. I eat vegetarian (occasionally vegan) because the bio industry is a large environmental polluter. I try as much as possible to use produce from my direct surroundings and to use less ingredients which are from faraway places to not burden the environment as much. I also try to use as little packaging as possible to limit trash.
That is how the idea for Farah’s Table came to life: bond people, inspire to a more sustainable lifestyle, but most of all; letting people enjoy incredibly delicious food!
Will I be seeing you soon at Farah’s Table?
