Welcome to Salt & Sweet!
Hi, I’m Rose! I’m a passionate cook, baker, recipe developer, editor, and photographer—and the proud creator behind Salt & Sweet. I’m also a devoted wife and mom to three wonderful kids (two boys and a girl), who inspire my culinary adventures every day.
Originally from a small town in Lebanon, I grew up surrounded by the rich flavors of Lebanese cuisine, which deeply influence my cooking style. After spending 11 years in the United States, my family and I made an exciting move to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, where we’re embracing new experiences and creating beautiful memories.
Here at Salt & Sweet, you’ll find a delightful mix of tried-and-true recipes, from the traditional Lebanese dishes I grew up with to international favorites I’ve discovered along the way. My focus is on creating meals that are not only delicious but also simple, quick, and perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Why I Do This
Cooking and baking are more than hobbies—they’re my greatest passions. I love the creative process of transforming simple ingredients into something beautiful and mouthwatering. For me, food isn’t just about nourishment; it’s about bringing people together, celebrating culture, and creating joy.
The Mission
My goal is to make cooking approachable and enjoyable for everyone. I aim to take the stress out of meal prep by sharing recipes that are easy to follow and guaranteed to impress. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or just starting out, there’s something here for you.
How It All Began
I started Salt & Sweet in 2017 as a way to share the recipes I loved making for family and friends. What began as a small hobby has grown into a thriving platform that reached over 700,000 pageviews in the past year alone. I’m incredibly grateful to my readers—new and loyal alike—for making this journey possible.
So, welcome to my kitchen! Let’s cook up something good! Don’t forget to follow along and stay inspired—there’s always something delicious waiting for you here.
