"Rediscovering my mother's 'Madonna Notebook' during the pandemic was a revelation. It inspired me to create a collection of global comfort food recipes that are doable on any night of the week."
"I mostly do my restaurant-style cooking at the restaurant and my home-style cooking at home. It's nice to have an outlet for my chef brain, so those two styles don't have to cross."
Chef Ham El-Waylly inherited a notebook of recipes from his mother after her passing. Grief kept him from cooking until he rediscovered the notebook during the pandemic. His debut cookbook, Hello, Home Cooking, features global comfort food recipes. He shares cooking responsibilities with his wife for their daughter. El-Waylly runs a restaurant, Strange Delight, where he practices restaurant-style cooking, while home cooking remains simpler and more relaxed.
