He is traveling the world to tell the story of a country in which we share food and pain and celebrate life with bread and olives. For the second time, I meet him in the SBS Arabi Studio 24 his features are still a different story.

He is still turning the crisis into an opportunity and this is the biggest challenge in the most difficult circumstances. He says, Lebanon is walking in Shreyeneh. In Lebanon, there are more than 4 million heroes. He is passionate about life, not just about food. He is a man of exceptional communication.

He is an ambassador of love for Lebanon. He believes in life, even the bone, sometimes even the pain. And simply, he is holding the camera, he is walking in Zwareeb in a minute, he is meeting people, heroes every day and we can walk and stay with them without

Knowing the doctor’s uniform so he became one of the most important and famous food bloggers in the world. Who is Anthony Rahayel? What is his secret? What made him find himself writing people’s stories and he is among people? Anthony, welcome to our studios for the second time. Welcome to SPS, welcome to Sydney.

I prepare myself every time for this introduction, this amazing presenter. Thank you so much. I thank you a lot. Thank you for welcoming me. I feel at home here. We talk, we enjoy, we laugh, there are tears, there is Lebanon, there is much more than that.

There is love, there is pain, and there is a story of persistence. This is the fourth time, Anthony, in Australia. Why is Australia calling you? Australia is calling me because Australia doesn’t want Lebanese to die in it. Australia wants to preserve the tradition. Australia wants to speak Zgharta, Bcharran, and I don’t

Want to forget anyone, Akkari, Tripoli, etc. Let’s forget the south. It wants to preserve the tradition, it wants to be united, it wants to organize family gatherings every weekend. Australia thinks it is far away, but it is very close. Yesterday I was telling someone, why do you say Australia is far away?

Australia is close to my heart. Australia is not far away. Australia took Lebanese traditions and left, and preserved them. A person can live his Lebanese if he wants, his Arabic if he wants, to the maximum. Australia calls me because it has a lot of love.

I walk in its streets as if I am in Ashrafieh. I am invited to its parties and events, and everyone knows me and welcomes me with love. There is tears, there is laughter, there are people who put their mouth on my neck and tell me that they smell Lebanon.

There is something very nice that goes back to Australia. The main goal is to show the world Australia, to show Lebanon as Australia, to fix the ideas that are sometimes misunderstood because Australia left, but it didn’t. Australia is collecting money from the trees, no, it’s wrong.

Australia doesn’t care about us at all, not at all. To show the beautiful image of Australia, which I love a lot, to get to know each other more, to support each other more, to go to restaurants together more, to get to know our companies more. Today, when someone starts speaking English in Australia,

We don’t know if he is from where, unless he is very, very, very from the mountains. Unless he is from Australia in Sharrani. I didn’t want to say that. On this basis, we should know that companies that are respected by all nationalities, and everyone makes a difference in Australia.

I say that Australia runs on Lebanese. I went with a Pakistani taxi driver, he has been here for a year. He asked me where I was from. I told him I was from Pakistan. He asked me where I was from. I told him I was from Lebanon. He said, oh, wait, wait.

He said it in English, but I will translate it for you in Arabic. He said, you are a big deal here. You are a big deal. I said, what do I know about you? He said, I know, I know. I hear about you. You are successful. You work. You communicate.

You do everything together. I told him, you are a big deal. Thank you. Thank you. A nice seed. There is a bad seed. There is a very good seed. A very good seed that covers. This brings us back here more and more in this great area, which is Lebanese DNA.

We study, as you said, we study in the book DNA. We all know what it is. But Lebanese DNA is another story. It is a very big story. It tries to come out of you, but it doesn’t want to. It sticks to you. Sometimes your father is not Lebanese, or your mother is

Not Lebanese. You were born in Australia, and maybe you are the second generation. Someone asks you, who are you? How would you identify as what? You tell him, Lebanese. I have a Lebanese blood. Glory to God. The connection, Anthony, with our story, with our identity, with our roots.

But today, I am standing, me and you, and life is wrapped in a shroud. We can’t. Emotionally, or morally, unless we stand in front of the souls of more than 13,000 victims in Gaza. How can you celebrate in life, or show this half that is full, when death is besieging us?

Let me tell you one thing, a lot of people died in Lebanon. A lot of people died in Ukraine. A lot of people died everywhere. A lot of people died in Turkey because of the earthquake. Today, a lot of people are dying in Palestine and close to

Us. Of course, you are close to Palestine, and I am close to Palestine. We all have brothers in Palestine. We have a Palestinian community everywhere in the world, and we are all next to it. But what do you want on social media today? Do you want to see drama all the time?

Do you want your feed to be news all the time? Do you want us to live in a global crisis all the time? I say, there are news networks, some people do news, some people don’t. I don’t do news, and I don’t want to do news.

I want, when someone passes away, to see drama, drama, drama, drama, drama, the end of the world, to see hope again. My work is hope. It takes a person’s position. I don’t have to advertise it. It takes a position, as much as it should. We all know who our positions are.

It’s not someone who wants to justify his position. It won’t be a news network. I know how I should spread happiness, spread love, despite everything, despite all the circumstances, despite everything someone tried to do to make me stop, to make me give up, to make me shut down.

I call on everyone today to stop spreading love. I consider this wrong. We took the right position, for a day or two, but you stop or you flip your platform, your platform, to become a news network for what? To spread the message, to get more followers? This is wrong.

Maybe the biggest challenge, Anthony, and we see these heroes, these journalists, these journalists, who are aiming for hope from the bottom of the wells, and we see them, they are the makers of life, and they carry the will of life, and you carried the Palestinian heritage in more than one episode, this

Heritage should stay. Last year we met more than 50 countries, today more than 5,400 videos, soon, soon, a million subscribers on YouTube, far from all these numbers. Anthony, who are you? I am someone who wants to unite connecting Arab culture.

I want to try as much as we can, we, the children of the Arab people, to be together, we want to love each other, we don’t want anything to divide us, I don’t want anyone to disagree between us. I start with my Lebanese, with all honor, with all pride,

I start with my Lebanese, which is unfortunately divided into 1,300 villages, and I want to unite them. I want to start with my Lebanese, which has 16 million successful people in the world, even if he is a taxi driver, even if he makes Manakish, even if he cleans

Garbage streets, until someone has 5,000 employees and has billions of dollars. All of them. Even if we are here today, sitting on the table, and someone passes by, we greet him, we clean the table, because today we have dust on our hands. Each person is successful, he is a hero.

I meet people, yesterday, a taxi driver, I told him, can I take with you a meeting, you are a hero, he told me, why am I a hero? I told him, you are a hero, you don’t know, you took me on a date, you are a hero.

So I want this Lebanese, all of us, in our Lebanese dialect, to unite, to love each other, to sit together, to eat together, to benefit each other, not to judge each other. Thank you, God bless you, but I would have preferred it better. The negativity, the pessimism, the negative words,

I don’t want to open this series again, I prefer to close it and move on. Today, this thing that happened, we were pulled to differ and differ, we were pulled to hate each other and hate each other, we were pulled to unfollow each other and we unfollowed each other.

Instead of looking back and saying, let’s support each other, let’s be with each other, let’s love each other, let’s sit together. The bigger the case, we fight, the bigger the case, the bigger the case, we take the land. It is us who differ, we shouldn’t differ. If we divided the land,

I think this is the biggest wound, because we are this country. Anthony, since 2012, you have been saying that Lebanon is the most beautiful country in the world. And honestly, this is your invitation, to reach out to this lighted lamp in every village, in every neighborhood.

This woman who, from the 5 fish and 2 fish, is doing something, this blessing, at least in our villages, and launched a project made by nature. as if you’re saying, no, we don’t want to emigrate, we don’t want you to leave Lebanon, stay in your land, this product that

Carries the smell and the story of the land is the one that wants to go around the world. Tell me about this project that is strengthening rural tourism and also the Lebanese industry, and with all our pride. An introduction to reach this project. Today we can look at the country we are in.

Let’s say America, let’s say Australia, let’s say wherever. There is a system, there is tourism, there are people who follow the law, they respect you and respect me, they stand in line, etc. There is a country that stands and treats you. There are many beautiful things. Great.

But there are many things that are invalid. There is pain for people, there is fatigue for people, there are benefits that are coming out, there is what it is. We don’t want to enter it. The same thing in Lebanon. In Lebanon, we don’t look and say that there is a hole.

No, but there are also very good roads. There is a city that is crowded. No, there is no crowd at all. We have never stopped for a minute to buy a loaf of bread and the crowd that instead of taking you to Beirut in 30 minutes, takes you to Beirut in 25 minutes.

What is the crowd? Today, take someone who took an Australian passport. Where is he from? From Australia. In Lebanon, no. Where are you from? You are from a village. You are from a small tribe. You are from a beautiful mountain next to a beautiful tree. You are from a beautiful neighbor.

Then you are from Lebanon. So today, what distinguishes us is that we have an appurtenance. We have a belonging to a certain place, which is this village. What makes it the most beautiful country in the world, it is the smallest country. It is smaller than Sydney. In 2,000 square kilometers.

From Sydney, from a city. It is true. It has 1,300 to 1,500 villages. Each one has a story. Each one has a heritage. Each one has a history. On this basis, I say that this country, which is always, people won’t understand what I will say, but

I will go back to what I said because they criticized me a lot. I look at the half of Maabba. What is half of Maabba in Lebanon? Oh my God. There is a lot of Maabba. A lot of Maabba. In places, people were pushed and reached to this world,

Which not only has problems in Lebanon, there are problems everywhere. Europe is boiling today. All the world is boiling. The eyes are full. You look in the empty half. I say, thank God I will drink this much today. So on this basis, one of the issues, of the issues that I

Do in Lebanon, is from all Lebanon to all Lebanon. They buy me from a place and distribute to a place. I support the Lebanese economy from a place to be distributed to a place. From behind it, Made by Nature was created. Made by Nature is a collection of more than 650 families.

They sell more than 4,000 products. To be all gathered in one place. What is important is that the villages don’t stay. But how do we want them not to stay? We want to buy from them. We want to support them. We want to get their income.

We want to tell them to make bread for us. Right? Make Mouneh, jam, butter, cheese, labneh. Don’t give them anything. We will help you. Bring them to the city, and we will try to sell them to you. We will try to help you export. We will teach you what export means.

What nutrition facts means. What are the standards. Right. You know, a lobby was made a long time ago in Lebanon. We were not allowed to export honey to Europe. It has been 10 years. 3 months ago, the first container of honey was exported to Europe.

This thing supports the Lebanese, it brings the Lebanese together in the lobby that we call the world that should happen. This is the call that we came to say here. In my tours, I say, Lebanon is not asking for money. Don’t send them money. Buy from Lebanon.

Today, we can’t send our vegetables to Australia. To work on the subject, buy from Lebanon more. Today, we are trying to get our honey. Don’t criticize and say that it is expensive. It is not expensive. It is more expensive than others, because it takes more

Work. Make it known, buy it, so we can send them another container. This is the constant support that we are looking for, and this is the economic vision that leaves these heroes on their land. I want to stop everything we are saying.

There is a bite that satisfies the body, there is a bite that satisfies the heart. Take me to Lina’s kitchen, right now, and I want to smell it with you. The kitchen is… Lina is the mother. The kitchen is… You know, it starts with thyme.

You know, I will take you to the subject, but I was sending a Ktok in one of the big parties. There were around 400 people sitting. So I got down, to the place where I was standing. I took a bottle of rose water.

I told them, all of you have a bottle of rose water on the table, not to drink it at night, but open it please. I filled the whole room with rose water. I told them, I cried. How about you? So today, Lebanon, the kitchen of the lady, the kitchen of

The mother, the kitchen of the feeling, is the smell, it is a journey. There are people, sometimes you don’t understand, who say, it is not tasty, it is tastier, because I was able to taste the taste of passion. I was able to taste the taste of love. There is one of the ladies,

I told her, our lady, wow, the taste is unbelievable. She told me, you were laughing a lot, I am making it for you. Oh God. This is the story. I put my heart in this bite. So I remember, before my mother, I remember my grandmother, who was like my grandmother, may God have

Mercy on her, she was very nice, I advised her, I was like her, I resembled her to the grandmother of Tom and Jerry, this nice lady. She would come to the kitchen every day, she would not believe, I told her, next Saturday, she would not believe, the next day she would start preparing,

I wish I was filming at the time, it was not a few days later. She started preparing for 7 days, and everything took time. We would sit at the table, we would eat in half an hour, but every time we would eat, we would think that she has been working for 7 days.

The same thing, the mother who used to come back home after school, these are the most beautiful days, I always miss them. If I ate a potato sandwich, I would remember Thursday. If I ate a Lebanese burger, I would remember Friday. It was party time.

Lebanese burger is a story of its own, we will not talk about it. The Mjadara that is amazing, with a cabbage salad, the beans and rice that we used to eat, 2-3 plates, I don’t know how we could study again after noon. These were all together.

The smell that welcomes you at the entrance of the building. Unbelievable. As long as we are talking about my mother, I love her a lot, I say hi to her. I don’t know if she has time to watch everything, she doesn’t follow me anymore. I ask her where did you become my son?

In any place in this country. I am running after you. Anthony, I want to answer you on your own, I know how time consuming the content industry is, but the content is, if we can say, an imaginary material, in a moment, everyone who filmed it can leave.

What is the scene that you don’t forget, that is engraved in your heart, and if you erase all the content, you say, this will stay in the memory of this age. There are many things. Don’t make me cry, I don’t want to, but there are many things. There is a story,

I remember it a lot, I was still in my early days, I was 3-4 years old, I receive a message on Instagram, from a lady, she told me, just to let you know, that I was dying, because of you, today I am alive.

I said, ok, she was new to me, the idea, and all the body hair, she told me that I had cancer, and they told me that I can’t, and I wasn’t eating, and I didn’t like eating, they were asking me to eat, to be

Able to perform again, so I put this program, and I started to watch, I became hungry, I started to travel, I forgot my job, I went and came, and I continued, and I went for days. Maybe after 4-5 months, or 6 months, I was sitting in a place, next to the farmer’s market,

I felt that someone was coming, I felt that someone was coming, I felt that this person, wasn’t like any other person, so I came closer, she put her hand on me, she told me, I am her, but in two words, what can I tell you, as if the

Whole world, has changed, and since then I understood, that what I am doing, isn’t content, it is a cause, that makes a difference, for a lot of people, I just want to tell you, I haven’t talked about it, but it also affects, maybe 90% of women, or men, elderly, Lebanese, they end

Their days with me, they are watching, they are seeing Lebanon again, and these kids come, and tell us, I want to tell you, that my grandmother, may she rest in peace, or my mother, may she rest in peace, or my father, may he rest in peace, he ended his days with

You, because he was watching, and you are remembering him, in Lebanon, and this thing makes me continue, it doesn’t make me stop, it makes me say, no, I have to continue, I am not allowed to stop, I am not allowed to wake up one day, and say, mom, my skin,

And I am going to continue my stories, and anyone who comes to me, tells me, you can send a video to my mom, I say, of course, or you can send a video to my father, yesterday I stayed for 4 days, of course, of

Course, during this trip, during one of my trips, someone asked me, my father is sick in the hospital, at home, can you come to him, I said, of course, I went out, I searched, I reached, I opened the door, I looked inside, he said, you are coming to me,

I said, you are less of a thing than me, on the contrary, I came to sit together, we sat and laughed, and talked, and made us laugh and talk, and gave him hope in the days, months, or years I paid God what I had to do

So today, much more than Anthony’s food or Anthony’s marriage, and we didn’t like it or we liked it, or he left and came back It’s a story that continues And today, I can’t leave my kids or anything I can’t leave them, neither money, nor money I can leave them these videos

My kids and other kids so they don’t forget who they are I go back and focus, and I go back and focus I’m not asking anyone to come back I’m telling them, please don’t come back I don’t want a crowd in my country Imagine if you don’t come back I’m happy

But God’s mercy, you’re beautiful Right, right Someone once asked me If they leave, if your kids ask to leave what would you tell them? I would tell them, of course I’m raising them so that the world knows them Maybe Lebanon won’t help But in no day, they will leave in tears

The day they leave in tears The day they want to leave in tears I will close the house for them So this is the upbringing we live in And today, a lot of people ask me Why haven’t you left yet? I’m happy My kids don’t want to leave happy

My wife loves Lebanon to the fullest So we’re a very happy family in what I have Thank God Land, planted in its land This is Anthony, and this is your secret This is your secret, Anthony I think the human heritage you have is what makes all the difference

They asked me to repeat a test Now I will change it But to do a quick test I will simply ask you to choose Find me or feed me We found it, of course. We found it, of course. Good morning or bonjour. Bonjour, with all pride. Because we are speaking Lebanese.

How nice is this plurality. A Lebanese person speaks originally Arabic-French Lebanese and turned Lebanese-English-French and turned, depending on where he is, took one of the three and put it Portuguese, or Spanish, or others. So today, a Lebanese person speaks three languages, with all pride. We were judged by many generations in the world.

The last ones were French. We learned a lot from them. Then came English, Ottoman, you name it, all of them. They loved Lebanon. The Australians came to us. We took from them, with all pride, we preserved our heritage, the Lebanese, Syrian, old Aramaic accent, and we added to it.

So I am proud to say bonjour. Good morning, good morning. I should say good morning. So it’s not wrong, I am not denying my origin, this is my origin. Did you buy or cultivate it? Wow, very complicated. I love manufacturing. I love cultivating. Lebanese people love cultivating.

Lebanon is a country of light industry. We don’t know how to make factories that take 500,000 tons of things. We know how to make as light as possible. The cute Labneh, the right cheese. When someone cultivates it, he appreciates it more. A lot, a lot, a lot.

If I could go back home today and sit calmly without having to travel a lot, no, I would cultivate more and bring more children. Saj bread or baguette? Saj bread in the past. Saj bread in the past, Saj bread. With Mzenkele Labneh. Come on, add oil. It is one sandwich.

It has Labneh, but not the Labneh of the year. The Labneh is properly made. It needs to sit for a year in the fridge. You need to age it to break it. To darken it a bit. We add olive oil, of course Lebanese. Black olives. Black olives. A bit of mint and tomatoes.

Hot. People will ask why not thyme. I don’t find that thyme and olives go well together because they are too acidic. We can add thyme, but the sandwich will be very hard because I want to feel the taste of tomatoes. The Labneh on the basis.

The Saj, if it is made well, is the thinnest bread in the world. It has a lot of feeling. It has a lot of touch in the hands. It has a lot of breath because it melts. It is melting. It has a gathering and sitting. Someone is sitting on the Saj.

It took me a moment to have Bcharreh, and my grandma is kneading for us. Tabbouleh with bulgur or quinoa. Although I know the answer. But you say it. Can we open a parenthesis here? Lebanon, to an extent, doesn’t have rice. In our culture, we don’t have rice.

Because we bought it for the house, we bought our rice easily. It is white. You put it in the pot and in 5 minutes, it is done. We are a country of wheat. A country of bulgur. A country of Frikeh. We don’t have rice in our culture.

So I say bulgur, bulgur, bulgur, all the way. Bulgur is made with yogurt, tomatoes, Tabbouleh, Baddiki. Bulgur is original, raw Kebbeh. It is made with a lot of things. We should know again who we are. I am not saying we shouldn’t stop eating rice, we shouldn’t eat bulgur every day.

But in our culture, rice is not present. Not at all. It came later. I feel that Tabbouleh. I will tell you the whole story. Tabbouleh was adapted. Tabbouleh started with boiling. Tabbouleh started in the garden. Tabbouleh started in the mountain of Lebanon when our country was still very rich.

They go out in the winter and boil. Foraging. They remove everything green and make a complete table out of it. Basically, we used to get everything green, mix it with tomatoes, and make Tabbouleh. People call it Kezabeh, mountain Tabbouleh. With time, when parsley came to us, it became easy. We can plant it.

How nice to know how history started in this plate. Lebanese or Jordanian thyme? Thyme is thyme. It was divided according to customs and traditions for 3 countries. Jordanian thyme, Lebanese thyme, and Aleppo thyme. Thyme is the origin of Syriac. It is a thyme that only comes from us, Jordan, and Syria.

Even in Cyprus, it doesn’t come. We, as Lebanese, put thyme as thyme. We added sourness, we added sumac, we added sesame to soften it a bit, and we added salt. That’s it. When we say thyme, our thyme is thyme. The hope in cheating, if someone wants to cheat, is to add colored sumac.

But this is it. In Jordan, they like to mix it more because they don’t like sharpness. So Jordanian thyme has 8 ingredients. There is nothing called thyme as Jordanian thyme. It is the origin of Syriac. This is one. Which is the thyme of our land. They added 8 ingredients.

Some people add wheat, some people add wheat, some people add sumac, many things. Even the spices. If you give them light green. Very tasty. Amazing with the Manoucheh. It softens the dough and doesn’t harden it. Amazing amazing amazing. Everyone has a priority but they know they are eating Jordanian thyme.

There is nothing called thyme. It is the mixture. And Aleppo thyme, has 5 ingredients. Its color is sharper. It hardens the dough a lot. It hardens it more. It doesn’t have a Manoucheh. It hardens a lot. So today, there are 3 types of thyme. They are amazing. Each one has its own taste.

Which one do you like the most? I like the Lebanese. Maybe you got used to it. I like the Jordanian thyme from the Manoucheh. In Jordan, when you go to a bakery, and I tell them to make a delivery, of course, the Lebanese Manoucheh

Doesn’t reach unless you add sugar and milk to the dough so it hardens again. So to soften the ingredients of the Jordanian thyme in a softer way, I put the ingredients as they are. Also here, I can give you a comparison. People say that the Knafeh is not from Nablus.

The Knafeh from Nablus has nothing to do with the Lebanese Knafeh. We took the inspiration from them and made a Lebanese Knafeh. When it is rough, we say that this is from Nablus. We still have 3 minutes. Quickly, a Palestinian Knafeh or a heated Palestinian Knafeh? I like both a lot.

Which one do you like more? Knafeh. Thyme or Koshary? Koshary is delicious. Koshary, Koshary. I like Koshary a lot. Northern Kebbeh or Iraqi Dolma? You are giving me two that I like a lot. Both of them. I am forced to say Kebbeh. I want to go with the Dolma.

In the end, do you want the food to be soft or not? It should be soft. If the grape leaves are not cooked for at least 12 hours on the fire, it is not delicious. If it is cooked in the presto, it won’t be spoiled. We are living a fast life.

It should be soft. The breath, the time, and the feeling should be soft with time. To whom do you say thank you, I love you, and forgive me? Thank you, I love you, and forgive me? To my wife, everything. She is a crazy friend. She is everything.

If she is not here, if she is not raising children, if she doesn’t let me travel 5 times a week, if she doesn’t take care of me when I come back, if she doesn’t give me hope every morning and evening and tell me to continue with you, if she is everything.

She is the guardian of this beauty. God gives to every person a woman who loves him the way he loves her. How beautiful. Greetings to you, Nell. To whom do you say, my home? We used to hear these words a lot. I didn’t use it a lot. My home.

I didn’t use it a lot in my life. But today, my family, when people ask me how my children are, I say that my children are happy, my home is beautiful, they planted the Christmas tree waiting for me to come back to film with them. Bless you.

Where is your dream going to take you in the last minute? My dream is to have a show on Netflix and I will have a video on CNN and I will make a documentary about Lebanese people in Leicester. I will make a club for Lebanese people in all the countries

Of the world to gather. I will make a Lebanese street food market to tour from one city to another in the world. We will have 10 million subscribers on YouTube to watch the videos, not because I want them. And good for the future. A Lebanese food blogger, a content creator, a guardian of

Joy, dreams, and life. From my heart, I am Petra Touk El Hendeh, I want to thank you. I have been waiting for you every year to sit from the heart to the heart. Your questions are amazing. The talk is exciting. You call me and I say emotions, clear eyes, a nice talk, a

Message, and ideas that reach people’s hearts. And to know how lucky I am to be Lebanese. If they don’t know, they should know. Thank you because of you. Thank you for your generosity and following. Thank you.
