Chef Malak | Syria
Chef Malak is a Syrian mother whose journey began with war in 2012. She fled to Egypt with her children and started a small home kitchen — cooking, baking sweets, and making jams just to pay rent, and to provide life’s essentials. In late 2016, she immigrated to the United States, where she worked in childcare and elderly care. She has never forgotten her dream of opening her own restaurant. Today, Chef Malak is finally taking steps to build that dream again and start her own restaurant here at Feast.

Chef Naamati | Palestine
Chef Naamati moved to the United States last year after the war in Gaza. She is an Arab Israeli from the village of Abu Gosh, a place rich in history and tradition. Her passion is cooking and connecting with people from all over the world. Back home, she ran a catering business where she taught traditional Palestinian dishes to Israelis and tourists who visited her village. She also shared the rich history of Abu Gosh, which is said to be the place where the Ten Commandments were hidden before King David took them to Jerusalem. Chef Naamati truly believes that when we cook together, we unite as one people, transcending borders and backgrounds.

Afghan culture takes great value in strong family ties. People often prioritize the needs and well-being of their family over their own.
