New eatery in Ashrafieh for oriental dishes
7-3-2019
In its issue of today, L’Orient Le Jour spotlighted an enterprise run by Lebanese American author and culinary blogger, Methani Kaa’di. The eatery serving traditional dishes from Lebanon and the Levant was inaugurated this past October in Ashrafieh, Beirut. Speaking to L’Orient Le Jour, Kaa’di said she returned recently to Lebanon which she left more than 15 years ago travelling between the US and the UK. Her passion for cooking started in her teen years which she spent in her village, Baskinta in the Matn area. There, she learned to appreciate nature and the fresh taste of rural products, besides being influenced by the preparation of homemade mouneh, including confectionaries, kishk, tomato paste, applesauce and others. Kaa’di told L’Orient Le Jour reporter that she left Lebanon years ago to get to know her American mother’s homeland. She worked first in real estate and then in the restaurant industry, where she started archiving her Lebanese family’s recipes in a special file, besides her interest in the Oriental, Turkish, Iraqi and Farsi kitchen. In 2008 she launched her first blog, ‘Dirty Kitchen Stories’ which received great hits that promoted her as a famous cooking expert. She contributed to the writing of several cookbooks and has signed two books herself. In 2009, Kaa’di moved to the UK where she created the ‘Food Blogging Conference’ that brings together food bloggers from around the world. (L’Orient Le Jour, March 7, 2019)
