3. Why We Write

The purpose behind Chez Nermine goes beyond simply sharing recipes—it’s about fostering a sense of belonging, preserving heritage, and building a bridge between cultures. Our mission is driven by:

• Preserving Tradition: Egyptian cuisine is a reflection of centuries of history, tradition, and faith. By documenting these recipes and stories, we aim to preserve our culinary heritage for future generations, ensuring that these flavors and customs endure.
• Cultural Diplomacy: Food has the power to transcend borders and bring people together. As an Egyptian-American, I have learned that sharing the rich flavors of my homeland helps foster understanding and appreciation of Egyptian culture around the world. Chez Nermine serves as a platform for this kind of cultural diplomacy, bridging the gap between East and West.
• Creating a Sense of Home: For many, especially those far from home, cooking traditional dishes can provide a sense of comfort and connection. Chez Nermine is a space where readers can find that sense of home through familiar flavors and shared stories.
• Inspiring Joy and Connection: Cooking is about more than just following a recipe—it’s about the joy of creating something , the satisfaction of sharing it with loved ones, and the memories that are made around the table. We write to inspire that joy, helping readers create meaningful connections through food.
