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, after more than 60 years in the restaurant world, 3ammo 3adel could no longer find work. So he did what he’s always done best: cook. Today, he prepares generous homemade meals from his own kitchen.
He’s not reinventing dishes or following food trends. His aim is 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.
The best way to support 3ammo 3adel is by sharing his story and ordering a home-cooked meal via WhatsApp on +961 3 780 335. Make sure to follow him on Instagram to see his daily dishes.
