Edge welcomes "Babo Waheed of Babo’s Kitchen"
Babo serves as a symbol of culinary exploration, representing resilience and the profound impact of human connection. Rubab, the creative force behind Babo's kitchen, draws inspiration from her diverse roots spanning Kuwait, Pakistan, and California. Shaped by the nurturing embrace of family and community, her culinary journey reflects the rich tapestry of her life experiences. Amidst living through the turmoil of the Gulf War in her early years and the trials of the pandemic in her adulthood, Babo discovers solace and fortitude in food, rekindling its ability to provide comfort and hope. Now, as a chef, she infuses her creations with the love and resilience she has encountered along her journey, offering a taste of warmth and positivity to all who enjoy her dishes.
