Where I come from
I'm Lebanese, with Beirut roots and a family that measured love in how much you ate. I learned to cook the way most of us did back home — standing beside someone older and wiser, tasting as we went, rarely writing anything down.
A kitchen in Dubai
These days I cook in Dubai, in the little kitchen you've seen a hundred times behind me. It's where the old recipes get made again, where a quiet morning turns into soupe by lunch, and where all of this began.
What I hope you'll take
More than a recipe, I hope you take the feeling — that cooking can be slow, warm, and a little imperfect. Make it your own, feed someone you love, and tell me how it turned out
Cooking was never really about the food.
It is about the people you hand the plate to.
