About
Hi! Kifak? Ça va?
Grew up in Beirut in the sixties and seventies. Had a Teta (grand-mother) at home who was in charge of the cooking. Family was francophone. Dad had grown up in Egypt, to a Lebanese father and a Croatian mother. Mom was from Beirut and Sidon. Started this blog because after 30 years of living in the US, my passion for my country of origin is unabated. Love its nature, its people, its cuisine. Proud of the Lebanese people, their achievements and their courage. Interested in their complex and rich history.
Studied pastry arts in Dallas; fascinated with cooking and baking as a creative outlet.
I want to dig into traditional Lebanese cuisine, especially rural recipes that are being rediscovered. Show how healthy and delicious and varied it is.
I also want to dedicate my blog to my téta, Sitt Nabiha Aftimos Zabbat.
