Your Teta is Your Plus-One at Teta Loula’s Dish Party

Remember those sixth-grade school dish parties? The ones where everyone brought something to share, from chips and dips to chocolate chip cookies? Well, Teta Loula has brought them back, only this time, the sixth graders weren't invited. The Tetas were.

Teta Loula began as a cookbook celebrating Nadia Hanna, affectionately known as Teta Loula, created by her granddaughters, Mary Sherif and Miriam Ayman. Featuring 55 of their grandmother's recipes alongside family stories and memories from years spent in her kitchen, the book was originally intended to give Egyptians living abroad a little taste of home.

But the two soon realised there were many more stories to tell about Egyptian grandmothers and their kitchens. And what better way to bring those stories together than with a dish party of their own?

Each Teta arrived with a favourite homemade dish and the story behind it, sharing recipes passed down through generations and memories of the people they love. Because there's something about food made by Teta that just tastes different.
