Hello, I’m Ines 👋

Hello, I’m Ines — a Tunisian-born, Mediterranean-at-heart home cook with a French soul and a Moroccan twist. I live just outside Tunis with my Moroccan husband and our three children, surrounded by olive trees and the aroma of something always simmering on the stove.

My Story with Mediterranean Recipes

Hello, I’m Ines — a Tunisian-born, Mediterranean-at-heart home cook with a French soul and a Morocaan twist. I live just outside Tunis with my Moroccan husband and our three children, surrounded by olive trees and the aroma of something always simmering on the stove.

I grew up in Mahdia, a small coastal town where food was slow, fragrant, and full of memory. After studying literature in France and falling in love with croissants and poetry in equal measure, I returned home, built a family, and continued the most beautiful conversation of my life — the one I have with food.

I speak Arabic, French, Italian, and English — and each language shows up in my kitchen, in my Mediterranean recipes, and in my heart. I also teach French at a local middle school, which keeps me grounded and reminds me daily how much love and patience are required in everything worth doing — especially cooking.
