The Story Behind Sofret Zozo

Sofret Zozo began as a newsletter as a way to stay connected with friends while my family lived abroad. Over time, it became a place where recipes, personal stories, and reflections on culture came together.

I realized I wasn’t just writing about food. I was exploring belonging, identity, memory, and the powerful ways a table can bring people together.

That naturally evolved into dinners, workshops, cookbook clubs, and cultural experiences where those stories could be shared in person. Today, Sofret Zozo creates meaningful gatherings rooted in Egyptian hospitality, curiosity, and connection. It’s where strangers become guests, guests become community, and food becomes a way to better understand one another.
