Authentic Lebanese and Syrian recipes from the family table — the dishes our families actually cook. Over 200 recipes, free.
SOFRA is a heritage collection of Lebanese, Syrian, and broader Middle Eastern home cooking — real Arabic and Mediterranean recipes, not a modern fusion blog. Baked and fried kibbeh, za'atar manakish, tabbouleh, hummus, baba ghanoush, stuffed grape leaves (warak enab), kafta, fatteh, mujadara, mloukhieh, shish barak, sayadieh — plus rare Idlib dishes you won't find in any other app.
🌿 Why SOFRA:

• Hands-free Cook Mode: step-by-step audio narration in English and Levantine Arabic (AI voices), so you never touch your phone with messy hands.

• Real ingredient lists with sourcing notes for US and European supermarkets — no guessing where to find tahini, sumac or freekeh.
