The Mami G Mission
Mami Ganoush represents two goals:
- To share the Latin cuisine I grew up with (thanks to my Ecuadorian & Honduran descent), and
- To share the Levantine cuisine that my husband (who is of Lebanese descent) has brought into my life.
A huge applause goes to our moms, who not only managed to shift their entire lives to a new continent in search for a better life – but continued cooking the recipes that were taught to them by their own mothers. It takes a great deal of resourcefulness and creativity to recreate these dishes in a different part of the world.
Any first generation Canadians with immigrant parents can probably understand the confusion and comfort of being part of many cultures. Whether you are searching to connect with your roots or are simply curious about Latin and/or Levantine cuisine, welcome to my site!
A Little Bit More About Me
I bring my expertise as a former regulatory affairs, QA, & food science professional to my recipes. In my previous life I advocated for honest food marketing labeling. Transparency is very important to me and I ensure my recipes reflect so.
A while ago I made a big decision to leave corporate in pursuit of a more authentic path. Happy to report that it was the best decision for a million reasons. Now I am living, cooking (and don’t forget eating!!) a lot!
All the best on your journey and enjoy our Mami Ganoush recipes.
