Hi! I am Rafik.
Welcome to Levantine Recipes!
This food blog is all about the Levantine cuisine. Ever since I was a child, I loved to hang out with my mother in the kitchen. On the one hand I did this because it always had such an incredibly delicious smell and I was a glutton – on the other hand because I was fascinated by how much devotion my mother used to create the tastiest meals out of some sometimes funny or boring looking ingredients. I hope I can inspire you, as my mother inspired me.
I hope you have a good time. Make yourself at home. Enjoy your meal!
