Simply Lebanese

About Me

Hello & Welcome to my Lebanese kitchen!

I'm a Lebanese-American home cook, content creator, and mom of three, sharing the Lebanese recipes I grew up on, made simple enough for any home kitchen.

Where it all Started

I grew up standing next to my mom in the kitchen, watching her cook dinner every night. I come from a family of incredible cooks, and like most Lebanese moms, mine never measured anything. A handful of this, a pinch of that, and somehow it always came out perfect. When I tried to recreate those dishes in my own kitchen, I couldn’t find recipes online that tasted like home. So in 2017, I started Simply Lebanese to do what my mom never did: write it all down, with exact measurements and clear, step-by-step instructions.

What you will find Here

  • Classic Lebanese recipes: the dishes from my mother's, aunts', and grandmothers' kitchens, tested until they taste just right.
  • Smart shortcuts: traditional flavor without spending all day in the kitchen, the way our grandmothers did.
  • Easy swaps: ingredients you can find at any grocery store, plus lighter options when you want them.
  • A little bit of everything: I was born and raised on the East Coast, so you'll also find American baking, family favorites, and fun twists on global flavors.

Lebanese food is built on olive oil, whole grains, fresh vegetables, and bold, bright flavors. It’s naturally wholesome, endlessly shareable, and much easier to make than it looks. My goal is to help you prove that to yourself.

A Little About Me

I was born in Massachusetts, lived in Pennsylvania after I got married, and now call New Jersey home with my husband and our three kids. Most of my recipes are tested on the toughest critics I know: my family.
