Welcome to our first episode of of our new “3 Things” series. Join us over the next few months on a virtual journey around the globe as our guests share three things about their home country.
We are excited to begin our journey in Jordan with Dana Daas who will share with you Jordan’s rich tradition of hospitality, family, culture and more incredible food than you can imagine. As you will learn, food is more than just nutrition, it is what brings us together to celebrate, mourn, and remain connected regardless of who you are or where you are from.
