400,000 subscribers! Wow! It feels like just yesterday that we posted our first ever video and now 4 years later there's so many of you watching and cooking our recipes. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts!



We first started posting as a means of preserving and sharing our culinary heritage; thinking at best a small group of enthusiasts and seasoned veterans would follow our journey but you blew us away. It's incredible to see how many of you from all over the world are interested in our food. You've proven that interest in Middle Eastern cuisine is growing exponentially and it's high time for it's moment in the spotlight. It makes us proud every time we see the dishes you've made and hear how the recipes bring you together.



Thank you all for following along and giving us your time. It's truly a privilege and the most fulfilling job we could ask for to make these videos for you.

It's finally happening, we are going to write a full published cookbook!

We're currently putting together a book proposal for publishers, and we want it to be the must-have guide for Middle Eastern cooking. We're aiming for about 100-120 traditional and modern Middle Eastern recipes, that are flavour packed, accessible, and easy to incorporate into every day life. If there's something you'd love this book to contain, or you have a suggestion about how to make the cookbook user friendly, then give us your advice below!

Are you in London next weekend, and want to eat some incredible food while supporting a good cause?

On Sunday the 9th of June, Salma and I are going to be joining amazing Middle Eastern chefs like Sami Tamimi, Noor Murad, Philip Khoury, and many others to host Souk El Salam a charity food market. We're going to be cooking Egyptian Koshary, so if you've ever wanted to try it, now's your chance! You'll also get to experience delicious food from across the region and pick up top tier produce from brands like Zaytoun.

Tickets are limited and food is first come first serve so get yours before they sell out (last time there were over 1000 attendees). Hope to see you there!

The sun is shining and it's finally spring, which means that it's time to break out the BBQ and start cooking outdoors! We're currently planning our content calendar, so if there's any summer recipes you'd like to see, or you want us to expand on certain topics/dishes, let us know.

Here's what we've been developing:
- A framework for designing your own kofta flavour
- Make ahead simple bbq rubs that you can use on the fly
- Some delicious pastries and breads perfect for a summer BBQ

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating! I hope you have a great time with your friends and families. This Ramadan has been challenging for everyone, but even more so for people in Gaza. Keep them in your thoughts!

Ramadan Kareem everyone. To those of you celebrating, I hope you have a blessed month and easy fasts.

Tomorrow, Salma and I launch our new e-book "Sofretna" to serve as a guide for hosting an incredible Middle Eastern feast both in and out of Ramadan. This collection of Middle Eastern classics and Ramadan specialties is all you need to put on the greatest spread. Every recipe has detailed instructions as well as useful notes on substitutions, and pairing suggestions. We've also added some menus to make planning your next dinner party easier.

Hello hello, I hope you're all doing well, except those of you who like chocolate hummus 🤮. Salma and I have some news!

We've had so many of you ask us which recipes are best for hosting and sharing, and so many people asking us to write a book.... so with Ramadan and spring right around the corner we thought it was the perfect time to write a guide on making and hosting the most incredible Middle Eastern dinners. This e-book is a curated collection of our childhood favourites, Ramadan classics, and menus that take the guess work out of planning. All the recipes have written instructions and proper photography, but the best part is we're including some unreleased recipes such as the pictured Egyptian veal panée (which is on both mine and Salma's top 5 childhood dishes).

We'll be releasing it in the next few days, sign up here so you don't miss the launch middle-eats.ck.page/9ebc36bd39
