We’re starting this Ramadan where it all begins: at home. Chef Judy steps into the kitchen with her mom, Auntie Nayla, to prepare three beloved classics: Kibbeh bil Senieh (baked kibbeh), Kibbeh Maqliyeh (fried kibbeh), and Kibbeh Mashwiyeh (grilled kibbeh). These are staple recipes shaped by memory, patience, and years of practice at the family table.

Behind every chef is a kitchen where they first learned to knead, season, taste, and serve. Family recipes aren’t just instructions, they’re foundations, shaping technique, instinct, and the love that carries into every dish.

Ramadan is a time of gathering, cooking side by side, and passing traditions forward, and that’s exactly what this series celebrates.

Welcome to Passed Down Plates, a limited Ramadan series honouring the mothers, the memories, and the meals that made our chefs who they are✨
