“Here, I have some countries’ traditional outfits. I have the Moroccan caftan, this dress is from the Turkish Sultans. I also have the Jordanian outfit.”

“I have a new outfit for each dish. Depending on how I cook each dish, I style the cooking, the chopping and the final dish with the music. So I am still somehow related to fashion. I'm not very far off from styling. I used to coordinate clothes, now I coordinate food.”

El Saghir has garnered more than 12 million followers on TikTok

She says she goes shopping for the ingredients

cooks, films, edits and posts the videos all by herself

“When I go to the supermarket, I know I will hear this question twenty or thirty times, "What are you cooking today?" I take pictures with people, I love when people talk to me, they tell me, "We are proud of you. what you are doing is beautiful. You are really young and cute." It is nice to hear those words."
