About the participant

Hi! My name is Glad. Initially, I didn’t enjoy cooking. I grew up with my mom who cooked all my meals. But now that I’m a mom myself, and more so, with the current situation that encourages us to stay at home, I’ve grown to love cooking. Not only is it healthier, but I also spend the time for food preparation and cooking to teach and bond with my child. It's a win-win for me!
