Born in  Kfardlekous, a village  North of  Lebanon, Georgina El-Bayeh is... Born in #Kfardlekous, a village #North of #Lebanon, Georgina El-Bayeh is from a family of olive growers. She studied psychology; however, fate and the birth of three children had set her on the path of home cooking and mouneh production. At the start of every autumn, Georgina follows in the footsteps of an 85-year old family tradition of cold pressing olive oil. Georgina’s passion in the manufacture of olive oil is contagious; her description of the smell and beautiful site of orchards nestled in the high plains of Kfardlekous is guaranteed to prompt one to visit the area. With her natural flare and support from family members, she has embarked on a full time career as a caterer of local goods and dishes from the area. Georgina juggles parental duties with her catering business and the completion of the atelier. Her vision was that one day her space will accommodate cooking classes complemented with a tour of the surrounding olive groves, and that vision became a reality today with Matbakh Georgina! Georgina is one of Tawlet’s cooks and You can find her at #SoukElTayeb in Beirut Souks every Saturday from 9am till 2pm! #TawletBeirut #TawletCatering #MakeFoodNotWar
