Meet Amir, a culinary enthusiast and a second-year student in the Environmental Studies program at the University of Waterloo. Growing up in a multicultural household, he developed a passion for experimenting with flavors from around the world, and he’s particularly obsessed with garlic. Amir loves sharing his unconventional food combinations with his friends and often hosts dinner parties where every dish features “xtra garlic.” When he’s not studying or cooking, he can often be found exploring local farmer’s markets for the freshest ingredients.
