Food carries stories. It carries history. It carries identity. But what happens when it’s mislabeled,...

That’s me at the age of 32 with Merlin, who worked closely with Palestinian families. Together, we were so excited about the project. After that unforgettable visit with Auntie Suad, I was filled with excitement about the project. The women I met were inspiring, and together we had even come up with a name for the cookbook: Taste of Palestine. 🥰🇵🇸 It was a name that captured the heart of what we wanted to share—stories, recipes, and traditions tied to the land and its people. But for many reasons, the project didn’t go ahead. At the time, I wasn’t prepared for the reality that not everyone would understand or support what I was doing. There were people who gossiped, joked, and made me question myself. Looking back now, I see that they were the minority, but their words had a way of making me doubt myself 🥺 if this happened now—I would not have let anything stop me. This was for a good cause, but I also believe that everything happens for a reason. The project was meant to be set aside, and I needed to focus on my boys, who were still young. A couple of years later, we received the heartbreaking news of Auntie Suad’s passing 🥲🙏🏽It felt as though a part of the story had been left unfinished. A few weeks later, something arrived in the mail that would bring me to tears 😭 There’s more 🤗 #recipes #recipeshare #homecooked #homecooking

A week later, and I’m still in awe of that night. Sharing more original videos...

I walked into Auntie Suad’s home with my tape recorder, my notes, and so much excitement. It was the first time we meet. We made a cup of tea, and she began sharing stories about her favourite recipes. I was amazed to hear how, back in Palestine, she’d make pasta from scratch and hang it on the clothes line to dry 🍝 Our conversation kept drifting between her memories of life in Palestine, the struggles her family endured, and her love for food 🇵🇸🤍 Hours passed without either of us noticing. And Just before I left, I asked her for her favourite recipe. She’d shared so much already, but then she brought out her cookbook. I was in awe—each page covered in food stains, a lifetime of meals captured in that book. I asked if I can take a photo But Auntie Suad insisted she’d write the recipes out for me instead. “It’s too dirty,” she said, clearly embarrassed. I told her that was what made it beautiful, but I didn’t want to pressure her. I left, touched by her stories. The cookbook that would bring me to tears, but I didn’t know it yet - Stay tuned for Part 3. #food #memories #stories #recipeshare
