    Lebanese cuisine is way more than the known hummus, tabbouleh, shawarma, and falafel. It is a wealth of culinary heritage of recipes with stories to tell, whether cultural and traditional ones or personal and familial.

    It is also a source of healthy and nutritional meals, which has brought not just a few of its recipes to be recommended by world nutritionists.

    With Lebanese cuisine becoming more and more popular worldwide, the internet and more particularly the age of social media have contributed to the expanse of the Lebanese culinary heritage as online platforms became the #1 go-to for recipes.

    What we like the most about these Lebanese food influencers is their passion for, and their focus on, the wealth of Lebanon’s culinary heritage.

    Here are the most notable ones:

    Anthony Rahayel

    Anthony Rahayel has taken the Lebanese food scene by storm. He’s the food blogger and vlogger behind “No Garlic No Onion”, with nearly 300k followers on Instagram, and over 310K subscribers on his youtube channel.

    He is one of the most popular food vloggers in Lebanon and also in the diaspora when it comes to presenting Lebanese cuisine and its heritage.

    The reason for his popularity, other than his very pleasant personality and his contagious passion for Lebanese food, is that he tours Lebanon introducing its regions and its food with special attention to the people making, right there right now, these traditional eats.
