Sahar Elhallak is a certified vegetarian and vegan nutritionist. Her food represents her birth country Lebanon, her Palestinian roots and her adopted country Morocco. She was recently named a Rooted Everyday Ambassador and a Mediterranean food hero for advocating sustainable cooking and farming. She firmly believes that food connects us and knows no borders; what better way to be connected with others than to share the same vision for our Mother Earth. She advocates for a whole food diet that involves no additives or processing; that respects Mother Earth and sees her as a source of life, not a resource.

Due to the pandemic, we have been closed to the public since March 13, 2020. 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.
