q&a with chef lara

Meet Chef Lara, the spirit behind The Kitchen Diaries, a supper club born from her deep love for connection, creativity, and the comforting flavors of home. What began as a way to unwind after long days in economics evolved into a celebration of Lebanese heritage, rediscovered, reimagined, and shared.

Guided by nafas, the soulful “breath” each cook brings to their craft, Lara revives forgotten dishes with playful twists and spontaneous surprises that delight her guests. At her table, food becomes memory, generosity becomes ritual, and every evening feels like coming home, warm, surprising, and full of heart.
