I’m the author behind Pinch of Zaatar. My passion for food and cooking started at a very young age. Through watching my grandmother, mother and aunts create dishes using nothing but local ingredients and their senses that I became intrigued and my love and passion for cooking grew. 

I live in Toronto, Ontario with my husband, taste tester and  food lover Ahmed. He helps with all the food shoots and his cravings inspire many of the flavor profiles. Some of my favorite things in life are warm bread, a good book, summers and spending time with family & friends.

On this blog, I am sharing recipes that I've personally crafted along with  family recipes that are passed on to me from my family.  I enjoy using flavors and ingredients from my childhood to create fusions of and twists on some classics. Everything you see on here are things that I love to make and eat. 

My goals are to inspire you with food and flavors that are delicious and exciting. Along with using my platform to preserve my family recipes and share them with you. I promise there is something for everyone here - whether you're cooking for yourself, your family, your friends,  picky eaters or with dietary preferences and restrictions.

I would absolutely love seeing the food that you’re making. Snap photos of your creations and tag @pinchofzaatar in your Instagram photos and stories
