× My favorite food is the Middle East cuisine.
✓ My favorite food is Middle Eastern cuisine.
'Middle East' should be used as an adjective form 'Middle Eastern' to modify 'cuisine'. Also 'cuisine' is an uncountable noun here so no article 'the' is needed. Use 'Middle Eastern cuisine' for natural English.
× When I was young, I likes, umm, I like it, uh, my homemade food from my mom and, uh, some homemade food from my grandmother.
✓ When I was young, I liked my homemade food from my mom and some homemade food from my grandmother.
The sentence refers to past habits, so use past tense 'liked' not present 'likes' or 'like'. 'Likes' is third person singular and incorrect with subject 'I'. Remove filler words for clarity.
× So usually I likes, uh, my nationality food, like Ukrainian cuisine.
✓ So usually I liked food from my country, like Ukrainian cuisine.
'Likes' is incorrect for subject 'I' and past context; use 'liked'. 'My nationality food' is unnatural; use 'food from my country' or 'my national food'. Ensure plural/uncountable usage fits context.
× Yeah, I eat the different food in different time in the year, especially about the weather.
✓ Yes, I eat different foods at different times of the year, especially depending on the weather.
Do not use 'the' before 'different food'; use plural 'different foods'. Use 'at different times' (time -> times) and 'of the year' is fine. 'Especially about the weather' is unnatural; use 'depending on the weather'.
× In the summer I prefer some BBQ outside and maybe some salads because the, uh, season.
✓ In the summer I prefer having BBQs outside and maybe some salads because of the season.
Use 'prefer having' or 'prefer to have' for activities. 'BBQ' should be plural 'BBQs' or 'barbecues' when speaking generally. Add 'because of the season' to show reason.
× And in the winter I prefer some soups, hot soup because it's a cold.
✓ And in the winter I prefer soups, hot soup because it's cold.
'Often use uncountable or plural: 'soups' or 'soup' is fine; avoid duplicating: 'some soups, hot soup' is awkward. Also 'it's a cold' is incorrect; say 'it's cold'. Remove extra articles.
× Yes, it's changed because I travel a lot, so I visited more than 20 countries.
✓ Yes, it has changed because I travel a lot, so I have visited more than 20 countries.
Maintain present perfect 'has changed' for change over time up to now. Use present perfect 'have visited' to show life experience relevant to present. 'I visited' (simple past) is acceptable in some contexts but present perfect is more natural here.
× So I open for myself many new things and now I open for myself a Middle East cuisine.
✓ So I discovered many new things, and now I enjoy Middle Eastern cuisine.
'Open for myself' is ungrammatical; use 'discovered' or 'became open to'. Use 'Middle Eastern cuisine' (adjective form) and 'enjoy' rather than 'open'.
× So I prefer now eat some Middle East food.
✓ So now I prefer to eat some Middle Eastern food.
After 'prefer' use 'to' + infinitive ('prefer to eat') or gerund ('prefer eating'). Use adjective form 'Middle Eastern' and 'food' without article. Place 'now' before the verb or after 'prefer' as 'I now prefer to eat'.
