Through his heartfelt reflections, Abu Julia shows how following what you love can open unexpected doors and create a lasting impact on others. Muhammad Sbeita, widely recognized as Abu Julia, is a Palestinian chef and social media personality celebrated for his engaging cooking videos that blend traditional Arab flavors with modern culinary techniques. Born and raised in Gaza, he began his culinary journey at the age of 13, learning from his grandmother during a time when his mother was unwell. Despite holding a degree in English literature and working as a translator and editor, Sbeita's passion for cooking led him to work in one of Jamie Oliver's restaurants in London. Sbeita's work has garnered international recognition, with features in prominent Arabic-language media outlets and collaborations with organizations like the World Food Program to promote its work in Palestine. Through his culinary endeavors, he aims to bridge cultural divides and share the rich flavors of his heritage with a global audience.
