The comfort of mother’s cooking is unmatchable, so Dubai-based model and humanitarian, Jessica Kahawaty has decided to put her mother at the core of the brand new food delivery concept.
With the focus on healthy and nutritious home-cooked meals, aims to bring a little bit of that warm family feeling to your table. A true foodie at heart, Rita Kahawaty gets her passion for cooking from her mother Nahil. She taught Rita how to get the most out of the fresh vegetables grown in the Lebanese mountains by her father Simon. Rita spent years treating her family to an array of Middle Eastern dishes, and now we have a chance to sample it all ourselves.
“Mama Rita is a true expression of my love of home cooking that has been passed down through the generations of my family,” says Rita. “My mother taught me everything I know. is the same food we serve to our friends and family around our own dinner table. The meals delievered to your home is a true taste of my own kitchen.”
Quality ingredients and budget friendly prices make Mama Rita’s diverse menu accessible and esxciting. Blending the best Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and International flavours, expect all-time favourites like beetroot hummus and Mama’s fattoush, alongside family pleasers like The Original Lasagan and Peanut Butter Chicken. Sounds like a culinary hug to us.
“I am so happy to be launching Mama Rita with my mother,” says Jessica. “For as long as I can remember, her cookbook was a treasured item she always wrote in – discovered recipes, inspiration and new flavours. Every meal was cooked from the heart. Our family has always been about sharing and finally, the world gets to taste the food that we grew up with.”
Rita’s homemade shawarma with tender beef marinated overnight will prove a taste of home, while the oven-baked chicken and potato dish is the perfect comfort food that packs a flavoursome culinary punch. End the meal on a sweet note with Knéfe – warm on the inside and crunchy on the outside or Mama’s special carrot cake- a soft and fluffy creation with hints of pineapple and coconut.
Whether you want a comforting meal after a long day, or cater to six or even 20 people,is going to be your go-to for that home away from home dinner, served with love.
