About Me

I grew up in a traditional Lebanese family where everything rotated around food. Family gatherings, Christmas dinners, Sunday lunches, and everyday home cooked meals were the center of my life. Food became very important to me also when I started to develop different palates to spices and condiments especially when I had to live in Africa for 5 years with my husband. My best moments were when I would cook something and everybody would compliment me on how good it tasted and how nicely it was presented. My dream about food and cooking became bigger and bigger and I was planning to start my own place where I can prepare simple yet delicious home-cooked meals and bake the best cakes and breads. Suddenly everything came to a halt when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 1999. To most people food is a source of pleasure, sharing, entertainment, socializing, and fun. To me food became a source of worry, anxiety, and mainly pain. In this blog, you will find regular Lebanese, Mediterranean, and international recipes custom-made into gluten-free meals. In addition to that, you will also find recipes that are dairy-free, egg-free, and nut-free, and still taste delicious. Join me on my journey of exploring new horizons to food!
