Bio
Founded by Justine Youssef and her mother Siham Chamoun (Sahtein Lebanese Feasts)—is a cooking school devoted to reviving ancestral Lebanese recipes that are being lost with displacement. Dayaa means village in Arabic, and through these classes, they weave history, hands-on learning, and the joy of gathering. The school is based on Dharug Country in Sydney, Australia where First Nations sovereignty never ceded.
