Growing up in Jordan, Heveen Kurdi has enjoyed cooking since age 12, when she first snuck out of bed to fry a chicken and experiment with other kitchen ingredients.
Her love continued when she spent hours cooking dinner for friends and family while in the U.S. getting her bachelor’s and M.B.A. degrees. Kurdi says she was hooked on the Food Network as soon as she turned on the TV in the U.S. “That’s where it all started,” she says.
