Abdul Rahim, a young Muslim living in Vancouver, is an accomplished cook, thanks to his mother. Peter, from Squamish, BC, is an expert at fishing for salmon and smoking it, thanks to his father. As Peter learns the art of pakora and kebabs, Abdul Rahim catches his first salmon. The two youngsters exchange skills and prepare a feast for each other's family. A resounding success on both sides since they score 10 out of 10 from a jury of seasoned connoisseurs.
