How Food is a Passport to the World | Chef Q Ibrahim | TEDxBenet Academy Youth
In her TEDx talk, Chef Q shares her story of being exposed to different cultures and traditions through food from a young age. She shows how these experiences influenced her work in fighting food insecurity, and she demonstrates that we don’t have to travel far to learn about other communities. Hear about Chef Q’s “travels” through the culinary world, and be inspired to see food as a tool for good. Apply the traits of a Jewish mother fused with Middle Eastern teachings from a father to a black woman in the midwest and you’d get Chef Q. Ibraheem. Culinary art school was a farm in Georgia, a chair to stand on over the stove top while being taught recipes in her mother’s kitchen and her father’s halal poultry shop in Detroit’s Eastern Market, America’s largest farmers market. Chef Q's hospitality career began immediately after high school in Greek restaurants where she began in the front of the house. Determined to cook she applied for a culinary apprenticeship where she was given the opportunity to craft her skills with a Food Network Chef. Traveling through the restaurant scenes in Detroit, Atlanta and Chicago where she worked at Michelin starred Elizabeth Kitchen roles have included Sous Chef, Executive Sous Chef, Executive chef and Corporate Executive Chef.
