Abeer Najjar

Abeer Najjar is a self-taught chef and food writer with a knack for turning simple ingredients into memorable meals. Growing up on Chicago’s South Side in a Palestinian household, she discovered her love of cooking in her mother’s kitchen, where family traditions and vibrant flavors came to life.

Her recipes are a reflection of her roots and the diverse community that shaped her, blending the rich traditions of her heritage with global influences. Through her writing, Abeer shares her food journey, hoping to inspire others to embrace their own culinary traditions with pride.

When she’s not creating in the kitchen, Abeer is spending time with family, traveling, or planning her underground supper clubs. Her work has been featured in Teen Vogue, NPR, and LifeTime, among other outlets.
