Welcome to Miros Love Bites
Food is travel. As more of us move, to new lives in a new city or a new continent, out of choice, or because all other choices are gone, we leave our homes and start again in different places among different cultures. We try to fit in and adapt. But we also share our memories of where we came from. At the heart of this blend of old and new is food. More than just nourishment, food is about history and place, family and friends. Food is a key to who we are and how we feel.
Born in Syria, brought up in Lebanon and the US, and now living in London with my Palestinian husband, I’m a lifelong migrant. My cooking is a combination of everything I’ve learned along the way, anchored by the eclectic, sensuous kitchens of the Middle East. Through this collection of recipes I hope to demystify Arab cooking, to illustrate how simple and adaptable it can be. And how healthy.

Spring time in the levant means lots of anticipation for numerous delicious fruits and vegetables that come out once a year.
The long awaited #loquats and fresh #greenalmonds are an absolute favorite.
Loquats are sweet slightly tart with notes of citrus. They are used as ornamental trees in the west but in our part of the world they are coveted and dreamt about.
Fresh green almonds taste like I ripe peaches, are crunchy and tart and dipped in salt they make the ultimate snack.
So find yourself an arabic grocer next to your house and get yourself these delicious delicacies. Hurry though since they won’t be around for long.

Growing up Easter was a huge event. As a little girl the fuss my mother made over my Easter & Palm Sunday dresses & shoes was enough for me to proclaim it as my favorite time of year. My siblings & I were always dressed to the nines on those two days and on Palm Sunday I carried, what seemed, the most colossal and intricately molded candle adorned with the most beautiful of satin bows.
Even as a child, Easter Sunday signaled a new beginning. That Sunday, meant we were celebrating a newness. A rebirth of the seasons. A looking forward to sunny beautiful days ahead, spent in the beautiful mountains of Lebanon or on the beach with our cousins.
This feeling of newness & hope, reverberated in everything that my mother did to the lead up to Easter Sunday & culminated in our Sunday feast. Our Easter brunch table was made up of colored eggs, rose water infused rice pudding, home made string cheese, brioche bread & the intricately decorated & time consuming “maamoul” cookies. These cookies were the main attraction, & my mom had a knack of making the sweet semolina outer layer so buttery & flaky that from that fist bite you were hooked. She would stuff them with date paste, which were my favorites or chopped walnuts.
Today, as the world starts to look at the pandemic through a rear view mirror, this Easter is even more poignant. It comes at a time when as a world we collectively abstained from our daily indulgences & fasted from even the simplest of pleasures mainly our own freedoms and the loss of touching & seeing our loved ones.
Just as with Easter Sunday, I’m hopeful that this loss will lead us into something new & that the time locked away & spent reflecting inwards, we have shed many bad habits to enable us to die in our old ways of living & resurrect into our new ones.
So, let this Easter be a celebration not just to the people who believe in Christ but for all humankind. May it be the start of a new beginning that brings a rebirth of a new found bond in the human race, where the simple pleasures of life become cherished again, steeped in a blind belief that as human beings, we shall all, Rise, again.
Wishing you a Blessed Easter 🐣
