CELEBRATING native RECIPES
Cooking is more than just food—it’s storytelling, culture, and love passed down through generations. This website was born from a deep desire to preserve the recipes, voices, and traditions of our ancestors before they fade away.
Inspired by my grandmother Nejmeh (which means star in Arabic) and my mother Raoufa, I grew up surrounded by the rich aromas and flavors of authentic home-cooked meals. Every dish carried a story—one that was shared, savored, and passed on like a cherished family heirloom.
