- Hi, my name is Humna Ahmad.
I'm 20 years old.
I am a senior at the university of Southern California.
And this past summer I worked as a government consultant and
will be doing that post-grad as well.
Food
is like a love language for me.
It's definitely the way my family gets together.
And I'm scouting for someone who can also cook and would be
willing to do it with me.
I've never had a guy cooked for me, actually.
So this will be a first.
- I'm going to be doing the Jubilee cook-off
- I'm gonna be making kung pao chicken.
- As long as the vibe is right,
you can make any type of food taste good.
- Make a little pocket In there,
- Chuck some cheese in it to be nice and covered.
- And the main thing to remember
while you're cooking is that
everything needs to be done with love.
What you want to do is go like this,
then go like this and then put some love on that.

This could, this has so much potential.
- You're eating it doesn't have to be pretty.
