Middle Eastern Cooking in Canoga Park

I am a private chef with a passion for Middle Eastern cuisine. Raised in the hospitable and generous culture of Jordan, I bring the warmth and hospitality of the "ahlan wa sahlan" greeting to my guests in Los Angeles. With 38 years of experience in cooking authentic, traditional and savory meals, I cater to events, teach cooking and baking classes, and welcome guests into my cozy home restaurant in the heart of LA for In-Home authentic Middle Eastern dishes. My previous experience as a food truck owner has allowed me to infuse original flavors from my travels in the Middle East, and I am excited to share my unique blend of spices with guests. My approach to cooking is one of relaxation and enjoyment, and I am available to prepare special meals upon request. Don't forget to ask me for some Baklava, which I am renowned for my authentic homemade creations in the local area.
