Join Sunday Kitchen founders mother and daughter duo Karima Hazim Chatila and Sivine Tabbouch as we celebrate the much anticipated publication of their cookbook SOFRA.

As Lebanese diaspora living in Sydney, Karima and Sivine are co-founders of the popular immersive cooking school Sunday Kitchen, and the release of their debut cookbook marks the first time Lebanese weekend cooking has been celebrated in a dedicated volume.

Written through Karima’s voice and featuring Sivine’s cherished recipes, each chapter is presented as a  culinary spread…from village breakfasts to neighbourhood picnics, cultural celebrations and sweet bites; the authors have carefully crafted its contents to reflect the rich  tapestry of Lebanese gastronomy.

Alongside treasured recipes, Karima and Sivine share poignant stories of cooking, sharing and identity passed down through generations around the kitchen table. From Sivine’s culinary influences growing up in Lebanon to Karima’s childhood memories as a second-generation Lebanese-Australian, the pair offer a heartfelt exploration of their heritage and the stories and flavours that have shaped their lives.

Together, Karima and Sivine have dedicated their lives to sharing the rich flavours and traditions of Lebanese cuisine; the publication of Sofra, a labour of love, ensures we can all enjoy the generosity these two display at every turn.  .
