On this week’s episode, host Caryn Antonini is joined by international Executive Chef Zouheir al Mokallalati whose life story is deeply rooted in culinary tradition, culture, and decades of global experience. Chef Zouheir comes from a proud Lebanese family of chefs spanning six generations, where cooking has always been more than a profession, it is a heritage passed down through generations. Inspired by this legacy, Chef Zouheir pursued a degree in Hotel Management and went on to build an incredible career in hospitality that now spans more than 40 years. During that time, he has worked in prestigious five-star hotels and diplomatic restaurants across seven countries, including the iconic Kuwait Towers. Chef is fluent in four languages - Arabic, English, French, and Russian - and has shared the rich traditions and flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine with people from many cultures around the world. Today, he continues that mission beyond the kitchen, sharing traditional recipes, cooking techniques, and stories from his career with an impressive audience on social media.
