For Kristel Arabian, being Armenian is deeply connected to hospitality, family, and the flavors of childhood. Born into an Armenian family in Beirut and raised in a culture where food brought people together, those early memories, especially moments in the kitchen with her grandmother, shaped how she understands her heritage today.

In this episode, Kristel reflects on how a few simple dishes prepared by her maternal grandmother carry powerful meaning, revealing the warmth, generosity, and cultural pride at the heart of Armenian identity. Through stories of food and family, she shares how traditions passed down through generations continue to shape who we are and how we connect with others.
