Sweet tale of a talented young boy who just wants to cook
Faruq is a boy who has grown up since a young child watching his grandmother Ajee cooking food for the whole family.
He sees the joy it gives her to see the food enjoyed by others and the pleasure it gives them to eat it.
All he wants to do is follow in her footsteps, yet his father has already chosen his career path as a doctor just like him.
So sadly Ajee doesn't teach him much about cooking at all.
Eventually he turns to their neighbour, Mrs. Joseph who teaches him basic cookery and to use the famous wiri wiri.
He loves his time learning with Mrs. Joseph and his practice comes into its own when one day Ajee falls sick.
She can't cook for the family that day so instead Faruq takes over and finally his family see what he can do on his own with cooking.
This was a charming story about following your dreams in the face of everyone thinking otherwise.
Such a good read.
