Muslim amateur chef fights rising US Islamaphobia with food
  • 8 years ago
The popular food blogger Amanda Saab recently became the first Muslim woman to compete on a major U.S. cooking show wearing a hijab. Saab says she’s always had a passion for the Middle Eastern dishes she grew up with, and now has the opportunity to teach those recipes to the masses. It’s a mission she sees as more vital than ever during a presidential campaign season that has seen a spike in Islamophobia in many parts of America.
