Our family (both the Homsy and Abouchar side) comes from Syria. Specifically, we hail from both Damascus and Aleppo. Our food focuses on Syrian style cooking and traditions which have been passed down for generations. After nearly 2 decades of work, we are excited to share these recipes, and techniques with you! This website showcases not only our Syrian food, but also fun recipes we have tried over time for fun and learning.
About the Book
Welcome to my family’s kitchen!
A Taste of Syria: My Family’s Kitchen and Memories is a trip back in time to Sunday dinners, kitchen adventures, and the smells of spices filling the house. I grew up watching my grandmother and mom turn simple ingredients into the most amazing meals, and now I’m passing those memories (and recipes!) on to you.
In this book, you’ll find everything from cozy comfort foods like Kibbeh and Molokhia to sweet treats like Maamoul and Baklava. Some recipes are easy enough to whip up on a lazy afternoon, others are a little more hands-on, but every single one comes with stories, tips, and a whole lot of love.
Whether you grew up eating Syrian food or you’re just curious to try something new, this book is all about making real, honest, ridiculously good food and having some fun along the way.
So grab an apron, make a mess, and get ready to cook up some memories of your own.
I’m so excited to share my family’s kitchen with you. Let’s get cooking!
About the Cuisines
If you’ve never tasted Syrian food before, get ready, you’re about to fall in love.
Syrian cuisine is all about bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and recipes that have been passed down for generations. It’s the kind of food that fills your kitchen with mouthwatering smells, brings everyone to the table, and makes you wish you wore stretchy pants.
We’re talking bright salads like Tabbouleh and Fattoush, comforting rice and meat dishes like Kibbeh and Shish Baraq, and desserts so good (hello, Maamoul and Baklava!) you’ll want to hide the last piece for yourself. Every dish has a story, a memory, a tradition, a bit of family magic and that’s what makes Syrian food so special.
It’s about sharing. About slowing down. About cooking with your heart and feeding the people you love.
Whether you’re rolling grape leaves with your grandma or frying falafel for a midnight snack, Syrian cuisine always feels like home.
So dive in and don’t be surprised if you find yourself planning your next meal before you’ve even finished the first bite.
History of Palestine, Syria, and Food: A Story of Shared Roots
The Legacy of Syrian and Palestinian Cuisine: A Shared Journey," brings you closer to the heart of Syria’s rich food culture, crafted with love and time-honored recipes passed down through generations.
Before borders and politics, there was Bilad al-Sham, a region that stretched from Jerusalem to Damascus, from Aleppo to the heart of Palestine. This vast land was not only home to vibrant communities but also to kitchens where food was a language of its own. Here, families didn’t just share meals—they shared a way of life, blending spices, traditions, and flavors that still resonate today.
From tender stuffed grape leaves and comforting maqluba to the sweet, aromatic baklava drenched in rosewater, every dish we serve is a nod to a centuries-old tradition. Whether you're enjoying kibbeh, kofta, or a rich, flavorful stew, you're tasting more than just food—you’re experiencing the spirit of unity that binds Syria and Palestine.
Our curated collection, in collaboration with international kitchen organizations, celebrates this timeless fusion of culture and cuisine. Because when you savor Syrian food, you’re not just enjoying a meal—you’re honoring a legacy. Discover the magic of flavors that have been cherished for generations.
