For as long as she could remember, Faaneesa Elemoodeen has always had a love for cooking. It grew when she started to share her food with family and friends in Number 72 Village, Corentyne, Berbice, who sung her praises for her meals.
For Elemoodeen, cooking is relaxing. “… Going to supermarkets and taking my time searching through the aisles for ingredients that make different types of dishes… I prefer to be in the kitchen by myself and have fun preparing a meal for an entire army than to do any other chores around the house,” the young woman, who is a teacher with dreams of one day opening her own restaurants, said.
She often tries to make a mixture of dishes from different cultures and countries, so that when she is ready to open her restaurant she can offer a great menu.
