Coming from a Mediterranean background with grandparents from Iraq and north Africa, Jacob enjoys expressing himself in the kitchen. The culinary choices are vast and delicious. Either cooking a meal for two or hosting friends and family; the Kitchen, with steaming pots and the smell of spices is always a place of peace and happiness. Jacob’s bubbly character will shine in even the darkest of times, helping you to feel better, and to leave smiling; laughter and kindness should form the foundation from which to build your recovery.
