Experience the flavors

of the Mediterranean with Nahla

Bringing you the best Mediterranean flavors, made with love and a dash of passion.

Welcome to Cooking with Nahla!

Having grown up in a beautiful fishing village in Northern Lebanon, I’ve been taught the hundreds of recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation through helping my mom and aunties in the kitchen. 

After moving to beautiful Bellingham, WA, I started to make these recipes with my new friends in the community and was motivated to share my passion for cooking and engaging with others at a larger level. 

Join me for private and public cooking classes where we can embark on a delicious journey together!
