G'day, Marhaba and Hello.
I'm Janelle, a Lebanese Australian cook based in Sydney. The mujadara, the bamia, the loubieh b'zeit, the everyday Lebanese table has always been plant-forward.
I'm not veganizing your heritage food. I'm cooking it the way it always was and sometimes adapting it to suit. So Much Yum.

Lebanese Food
Lebanese food has always been plant-forward - legumes, olive oil, vegetables. That's the everyday table I grew up on. A few favorites to start; warmed chickpeas, the amazing mujadara makhbousa and molokhia.
