Hey Friend,
👋My name is Yassin and I’m one of the contestants on this week’s episode of United We Dream’s immigrant cook-off series, No Borders, Just Flavors! Ever since I heard about the opportunity to be on this show, my brother & both of my grandmas in Egypt have been super enthusiastic about supporting me doing something I’m passionate about - cooking.
Since migrating to Austin, TX with my family from Cairo, I’ve loved tasting the similarities between flavor profiles & spices common in Mexican cuisine and in the Egyptian dishes we prepared back home. 🚚 Lately, it’s been a dream of mine to open up an Egyptian/TexMex fusion food truck!
I’m sure my grandmas would love it if you’d watch the YouTube Premiere of mine and Estefania’s episode tonight @ 8pm EST! We also welcome you to show up a little early to chat with other viewers in the comments @ 7:45pm EST!
📺 WATCH NOW! 📺
I had such an incredible experience filming this show while being surrounded by such a diverse immigrant led cast & crew. 🧡 I felt so at home & familiar with everyone in a way I haven't felt a lot since leaving Egypt. Â
I hope you check out my episode, Friend!✨Let’s show the word how we shine by embracing and loving each other’s similarities as well as our difference
😌See you @ the YouTube Premier!
Yassin and the rest of the UWD Team
