The journey began in 2015 - when after years of health struggles and disappointing medical experiences, I discovered that I had food allergies and intolerances. My journey of self-discovery and self-understanding began when I realised the crucial connection between what goes into our mouth and our physical and mental health. Unfortunately, at that time, I struggled with switching to this lifestyle, especially since I am someone who loves food.

​

Through this platform, Bë.Root, I aim to bring together the existing community of recipe creators, local producers, SMEs and shops to make a difference in people's lives by making their journey towards health(ier) lifestyles an easier one.

​

You may have noticed by now the recurrent of the term health(ier) and that is because, in this aspect, there is no one-size-fits-all approach and what works for someone could be completely harmful for someone else. Therefore, this transition falls under switching towards a healthier lifestyle to the one you were used to - one that is free from GMOs, additives, and processed ingredients.

​

Here you will find recipes that are easy to make, fit our Mediterranean culture and traditions, made using ingredients that are easy to find - and most importantly created by individuals who care. You will also be able to make them using fresh local ingredients* that are made with love by the amazing people of our beautiful community.

​

The name Bë.Root expresses my love for my country. In fact, after years of living abroad, I decided to come back to the beautiful Beirut, 'be in my roots' and help others 'go back to their roots' by eating food that fuels and nourishes their bodies.
