I’m in Cairo, Egypt, and I’ve been reaching out to World Central Kitchen,and others, trying to find a way to volunteer for the displaced in Gaza starting November 1. I have five free days and want to give them fully to this cause.

With respect and gratitude,
Jeremy
If you have constructive advice to offer, I’m more than willing to listen and reflect on it. However, personal criticisms are neither productive nor helpful. Please understand that I have a family to support, and cooking is how I provide for them. I appreciate your thoughts—thank you.
I totally understand. It’s more like .5% but sometimes I’m cooking a meat heavy meal for a guest. I have to try everything as a professional. But please explain to me why? And don’t make it personal please 🙏
98% plant eater. So plant based is my way of living. I’m a chef, I cook for all. I’d love to hear your opinion on this, please🙏
