Autorenporträt

Hisham Assaad is a Lebanese chef, food stylist, graphic designer and photographer who regularly shares recipes and stories on his blog, cookin5m2 (which focuses on the challenges of cooking good food in a tiny home kitchen in Beirut). Raised in a food-loving family that came to Lebanon from Palestine in the 1940s, Hisham learned about Levantine food by watching his mother (a talented home cook) and father (a family butcher) in the kitchen from a young age. They bestowed the basics on him and he took it from there, building a culinary repertoire to satisfy his avid appetite for the food of his homeland. His work has featured in print and online magazines such as CulinaryBackstreets.com, Cuiz'in, Communicate, one8one and The Carton; he has cooked live on Lebanese television and featured on MBS Radio. He also works as a guide on boutique food tours of Beirut and the surrounding countryside for Taste Lebanon and is a frequent guest chef at local restaurants and festivals. He lives in Dbayeh on the outskirts of Beirut. This is his first book.
