This 75-Year-Old 3ammo Is Making Delicious Meals From His Home Kitchen

Lebanon is full of people who reinvent their lives. Some open small businesses, others bake for neighbors, and some, like the chef behind Matbakh 3am 3adel, turn their home kitchens into a source of income.

At 75, and after more than 60 years in restaurants, 3ammo 3adel couldn’t find work anymore, so he decided to keep doing what he knows best: cooking. Today, he prepares generous homemade meals from his home kitchen.

He’s not reinventing classic dishes or following food trends. He wants to serve up meals that taste like home. His specialties include moghrabiye, wara2 3enab, koussa, daoud basha, and plenty of other homemade favorites we all know and love.
