Our theme this month is called “Innovating Kitchen & Work Culture” and we’re learning all about how Kamal Mouzawak, founder of Souk el Tayeb (@soukeltayeb), Tawlet (@Tawlet) and Beit Douma (et al.), is rocking the culinary sector with social entrepreneurship concepts like no other in Lebanon. Through fostering farmers and producers and employing women to share their local cuisine, Souk el Tayeb’s organizations is actively fostering, spreading and preserving traditional and regional culinary landscapes. Creating spaces of exchange around food is generating a profound social and economic impact for Lebanon and beyond, one delicious dish at a time. #makefoodnotwar
