Funky Nisso

I am really passionate about my studies. I also love shopping, reading, visiting art galleries… and cooking.

I began cooking on my own when I first moved to England. Restaurants here are very expensive. So when I want to eat I usually cook at home with my roommate. She is Italian so I have learned from her how to cook a few Italian dishes and taught her in return some of our Lebanese treasures!

I am reaaally into French cuisine and especially the classics, onion soup, gratin dauphinois, ect. I have subscribed to a French cooking magazine to learn how to cook them properly.
I try to get my ingredients from the street markets so they are fresh and yummy!!!!

My friends love to eat my Lebanese dishes now they are also loving the French new chef in me :) Hope you will like it too.

I look forward for your comments :)

Dishes I am famous for:
Lebanese chicken with rice, crème brulee, gratin dauphinois
