Beirut، Lebanon
I am Syrian married to a Lebanese and living in Beirut. I am a mother of 3 children and a grandmother for 4 children.One of my daughters lives in Dubai, she loves my food and is always asking for recipes. This is how at my age, I entered the internet to be able to send recipes to my zeina, and of course chat with her when she is free. I also started adding recipes on shahiya instead of emailing them to her, this way she could also show them to her friends… Every Saturday, the whole family comes to my home for Lunch. I usually prepare food for the babies and food for the parents. on average I prepare 3 different choice of main dishes, salad, and dessert, we end up with more than 10 dishes on the table sometime. This is no pb for me, I don’t care if it takes me 10 hours to cook as long as my family enjoys the food. I can cook nearly all Lebanese dishes, and thanks to my Iraqi neighboord warda, I have become famous for my Iraqi recipes. Dishes I am famous for: Shiekh al Mahshi and Fatet el Batenjan
