Hey there, I’m Omayah Atassi.

I’m a Syrian-American home cook, food photographer, and mama of two, living in Dubai.

The recipes I share are inspired by the food I grew up eating: slow-cooked stews, lemony salads, stuffed vegetables, and handmade kibbeh that brings a whole room together. These are the dishes that shaped me, written down and made doable — even if you’ve never cooked Syrian food before.

You’ll find step-by-step recipes, stories from my kitchen, and just enough background to help you understand the “why” behind each dish. My hope is that you’ll not only cook the food, but that you’ll connect with the warmth and intention behind it — the same way I serve it to my husband and two girls.

If you’d like to connect, follow me on Instagram, signup for my email list, and email me at hello@omayahatassi.com or fill out the form below. I’d love to hear from you!
