As soon as I moved to the U.K, I instantly missed Lebanese Food. I couldn’t find anything like the Lebanese bakery. The dough, the softness, the crust, the chewiness all infused with the vital human touch.
In the beginning it wasn’t even about selling it, actually just about making it so I could eat it myself. I’d never worked at a restaurant, but if you can’t find the one thing you really enjoy eating, you have to do it on your own. If you’ve never had Lebanese food before, you have no idea what you’re missing out on.
sahtein is the arabic word for enjoy your meal.
