As Women's History Month wraps up, I am excited to present the final edition of our interview series, featuring Lebanese food creator Tina Khalil, known to many as @MrsClueless.

Tina was one of the first content creators to unlock the 'secret' recipes, making nostalgic and traditional Lebanese dishes accessible to thousands of people worldwide.
As a Lebanese living in New York, I am forever grateful to her. Whenever I yearn for a taste of home, I turn to Tina's recipes for inspiration and a quick trip back home.
Q: How did you discover your passion for cooking?
Tina: "At first, it was out of necessity when I got married. I didn't like receiving food in leaky containers from family, so I took it upon myself to learn. Despite initial failures, practice gradually improved my skills."
