If there is one key time of the year where homemade food is king, it is Ramadan. The family spirit and the anticipation for iftar are just about the two best ingredients to spark enough motivation to head to the kitchen. Traditional dishes, learning from others, traditional recipes with a twist – Nutella kunefe anyone? – Our region is filled with talented amateur chefs sharing recipes online and here are a few great ones you should check out now.
I absolutely love Eman’s description of why she is creating content on her channel. She mentions that her channel is a way for the rest of the world to learn a bit more about Saudi culture through easy to follow middle eastern recipes. She doubles up the videos, one is in Arabic and the same dish recipe is available in English which is a really great effort for indeed the world to try regional culinary treasures such as molokhiya, maqlooba or traditional homemade bread. Find her on YouTube here and Instagram
