Ala's love of food started when she was young, and her curiosity never ceased to created amazing dishes. Today she shares her colourful dish continuously on her Instagram and blog (in Swedish).

Although, Ala prefers to keep her cookings as authentic as possible, she says sometimes there's an "accidental-fusion" in her cooking.

Ala wants to visit Kurdistan more to deepen her understanding of Kurdish cuisine before she goes ahead with publishing her first cook-book.
