It's as much a surprise to Saoud that he's preparing a meal, as it is to Lara. He's not a natural in the kitchen, but his Mum is always on hand to remotely guide him through the tricky world of recipes and cooking. 

Whilst Saoud genuinely needs his mum's help, he also uses his ineptitude in the kitchen to stay connected to his loved ones via daily cooking classes/calls for help. 

Thank you for being here Saoud and for sharing your story.
