My mom is one of the best cooks I've ever met. A lot of what I know about Middle Eastern cooking, I learned from her. These are all meals that she cooked for me growing up in Saudi and Dubai. I might've added little touches here and there, but the flavors are authentic and not like the food in any Middle Eastern restaurant you've ever been to.
