Hi, I'm Obi, I'm the founder and host of Middle Eats, the largest educational Middle Eastern cooking channel on YouTube, with over 450,000 subscribers. Since 2020 we've taught millions of viewers to cook authentic recipes from across the Middle East. Our work was shortlisted by Fortnum & Mason for a Food & Drink award in 2025 and we're currently writing a cookbook set to be published by W. W. Norton in 2027. Every recipe on this site gets tested and retested until I can tell you exactly why it works, not just that it does. Welcome.
