Founder of Cooking with Yousef, sharing authentic Persian recipes and culinary wisdom with millions worldwide
Growing up in Iran, the kitchen was always the heart of our home. I learned to cook by watching my mother, absorbing not just recipes, but the stories, traditions, and love that make Persian cuisine so special. When I had to cook for my sick father, I truly understood how important food can be in bringing a family together. Over the years, I’ve come to see that food is more than sustenance—it’s a powerful way to connect with our roots, share something meaningful with our children and grandchildren, and bring people together.
When I started my Cooking with Yousef channel, I wanted to share that same warmth and sense of belonging with others. I never expected it to resonate so deeply, but hearing from viewers that my videos remind them of home or family has been incredibly rewarding. It has shown me how much people crave not only great food, but the comfort and memories that come with it.
This app is my way of bringing that experience into your kitchen, whether you’re a complete beginner or a seasoned home chef. I’ve poured my heart into every lesson, focusing on the techniques, flavors, and cultural stories that make Persian cooking so special. I also believe in teaching the fundamentals, so you’ll find guidance on everything from knife skills to building flavor—skills you can carry into any cuisine.
My hope is that this app helps you create delicious meals, connect with your heritage, and share joyful moments with the people you love. I’m honored to be part of your cooking journey, and I can’t wait to see what you create.
