Holy Mitt

To me, being a cheffe means being on a continuous journey to find my voice and my style. Creating, cooking, leading — they all intertwine with who I’m becoming. It’s not a job, it’s a mission. A mission to nurture, to express love through food, to create beauty in an often ugly world. A mission fueled by passion, and yes — by obsession.
It all starts with humble ingredients. As we pick them up from stores and suppliers, it’s easy to forget that the most extraordinary ingredients come from nature itself. Each one carries the love and care of those who tended to it before it reached our hands. I never forget that. I never take it for granted. That’s why I’m always a happy cheffe.
Look at these gorgeous olives from Jeddo’s garden — resilient, vibrant, full of life. The possibilities for them are endless, but for now, I’ll brine them in jars. So simple, so good.
There’s something I always say about fruits: the best fruits are just like the best people — they come a little bruised. Just like my olives.
كل موسم وإنتو بخير. 🕊️🫒

I am a shell of a human being without these beautiful girls. They are the ones who moulded me into the girl that I am. They are warriors. They are my backbone. I love them with all my heart and soul. To family! 🥂❤️
