We live in Saudi Arabia in a close-knit community full of different cultures, and our neighbors from Pakistan have become like our extended family away from home. Kokub, one of our neighbors, makes the most amazing mango chutney. A few years ago she invited me to help her. Of course, she doesn’t use a recipe, so the next time I went over with my measuring cups and scale so I could recreate her magic on my own. What an incredible experience!
