Patricia Darwish (pronounced Pat-reesia) was born and raised in Michigan her whole life. Her great grandfather came to the United States from Lebanon in hopes of starting a new life here. She is the eldest child in her family as well as of 33 grandchildren, and the single mother of 4 beautiful children. Food has always been important in her home. She learned her recipes from her grandmother and parents; learning how to cook by feel, sight and smell. Patty recently changed a 20 year career as an Early Childhood specialist and went back to culinary school, then purchased the 100 year old Iversen’s Bakery in Dearborn, now doing what she loves.

Due to the pandemic, we have been closed to the public since March 13. Closed doors mean that our earned revenue streams have dried up, and corporate funds have been pivoted to assist with COVID-19 relief or for their own financial survival. We are looking forward to the day we can safely reopen, but until then, we need your support.
