First Bite

What started as a high-school graduation project in Jeddah became four years of food, travel, brands, and growing up in public. First Bite: Four Years, In Her Own Words is the fourth anniversary edition of First Bite, a visual archive, recipe book, and creative journal in one.

Inside: the story from Jeddah to New Jersey, the original 2022 recipes alongside new ones (from cookies and crêpes to qatayef and meghli), the brand collaborations and firsts that shaped the page, the places that stayed with her, and journal pages to make it your own.

It opens with a handwritten word from her father, and the lesson behind it all: kel shi bw'to 7elo — everything is beautiful in its time.
