In order to understand chef rachid’s culinary heritage we have to take you back in time – at least a couple of generations. Imagine the hustling and bustling streets of beirut in the early 1940’s. This active metropolis is where people traded and conducted business for thousands of years. This is where chef rachid’s grandfather was preparing, on a daily basis, his delicious hummus following his old family recipes. This family tradition was perfected by his father, chef jamil, whose talent has been recognized and appreciated by prominent middle eastern families, ambassadors and royalty alike.
