About

About me

I'm Hossam. I'm 44 and I live in Alexandria, a short walk from the sea. I work as a nutritionist, and at home I cook the same plain meals most weeks: lentils, fava beans, rice, eggs, chicken and a lot of tomatoes.

I started writing down what I cooked and bought because people kept asking. That became a list of twelve basics, the meals I make from them and a weekly letter. I also walk the corniche most mornings, and I write about that too.

I sell the weekly meal plan, the shopping list and the portion guide as downloads, and two short video courses. Everything is written for ordinary households with a normal kitchen, not for a gym.
