Sally Hurst on Clubhouse

Bio

I'm an American chef and food writer living in Beirut. After attending the French Culinary Institute in New York City, I gained experience in some of America’s most prestigious kitchens before moving to London where I was a private chef and did segments for NBC’s Today Show and wrote for Travel & Leisure Magazine.

My culinary philosophy is on full display in the menu I created for Super Vega in Beirut which serves farm-to-table Mediterranean comfort food. Or if you’re in Amman, Jordan have a meal at Daimeh, the Jordan River Foundation’s cafe for my twist on traditional Middle Eastern food.

I’ve also been a Middle Eastern food ambassador aboard the MSS Amsterdam cruise ship and was a guest judge in the 2019 quarter-finals of MBC’s Top Chef Middle East. Empowering Women Through Cooking Lebanon, of which I was the Project Manager, is due for publication this year! Currently working on my own cookbook featuring recipes and stories inspired by my time in this region.
