We have exciting news from Jad Youseff, the chef behind Reigate’s award-winning Lebnani restaurant and previously the founder of Soho’s Yalla Yalla, one of London’s pioneering Lebanese street food spots. https://lebnani.co.uk/ - https://www.instagram.com/lebnaniuk
Jad is now launching his first-ever cookbook, a celebration of soulful, simple Lebanese cooking, packed with 80 authentic family recipes, intimate stories, and stunning photography. From creamy hummus and crispy falafel to slow-cooked lamb and fragrant rice dishes, it’s all about food that brings people together.

The cookbook is already 80% complete and will be released in Spring 2026. But to bring it to life, Jad is turning to the community that’s supported him over the years - via a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign launching TODAY!
