q&a with chef tala

Meet Chef Tala Bani Odeh, the heart behind Three Homes Ago, a supper club where food carries memory, movement, and meaning. An Afro-Palestinian chef trained in Seattle, Tala cooks from the pantry, blending inherited recipes, personal migration, and the flavors of resistance.

Her menus are layered with story: masa meets taboon, sumac sings next to salsa macha, and each dish invites guests to sit with presence. Three Homes Ago isn’t just a name, it’s a gathering place for where we’ve been, who we’ve become, and what we share around the table.
