Hi, I'm Dalool

Welcome to Dalool’s Kitchen! I’m Dalal, but most people call me Dalool. My love for food started in my mom’s kitchen in Kuwait, and over time it grew into a deep passion for exploring different cultures, cuisines, and languages. Through my journey, I’ve found that food is more than just nourishment—it’s a way to connect with others and discover new worlds. I can’t wait to share my journey, flavors, and stories with you.

From My Childhood Kitchen to Global Flavors

My culinary journey began in my childhood, surrounded by the rich and aromatic flavors of Middle Eastern cuisine. Growing up in Kuwait, food was always a central part of family life. When I married my Hawaiian-American husband, I was inspired to blend our diverse culinary tastes and traditions. This is where my love for exploring new flavors truly began.

After being laid off from my corporate job in 2018, I found comfort in rediscovering the recipes from my childhood. This led to my first cookbook, “From My Childhood Kitchen,” where I recreated those familiar flavors with a modern twist. But my love for food didn’t stop there. Today, I embrace global flavors, combining my love for Middle Eastern spices with dishes from around the world, which inspired my second book, “From My Modern Kitchen.”

A Blend of Cultures and Curiosity

Dalool’s Kitchen was born from my desire to share not just my own recipes, but my passion for learning about the cultures and stories behind food. I believe that food has the power to bring people together, and with my brand, I want to create a space where people can explore new flavors, learn something new, and connect over shared meals.

With Dalool’s Kitchen, I aim to blend my love for global cuisine, cultural discovery, and language learning. You’ll not only find delicious recipes but also fun facts, translations, and insights into different culinary traditions. It’s my way of bringing the world a little closer together, one dish at a time.
