Maid Turns Celebrity Chef

Ghalia Mahmoud took only months for her to rise from a simple cook to a celebrity chef in post-revolution Egypt. She has given hope to the poorer class, and has become somewhat of a hero for them. "this is the new Egypt, a new era, a new Television, a new people-to-people talk, instead of authoritarian to people." Said TV executive Mohamed Gohar, adding "A lot of poor people see themselves in her"

On her show she makes simple foods with easy to get, cheap ingredients. Food such as "kack" which is a type of sugar cookie made with flour, eggs, yeast, and everyday spices. People from all over the country will call in to share recipes, and just to talk to the now famous chef. Her easy to make recipes and her laid back attitude make her more appealing to her viewers.

Her advice on cooking and success has made her a star
