About Syrian Home Cooking

Welcome to Syrian Home Cooking, your neighborhood go-to for Syrian food. Featuring fresh, healthy, homemade savories and pastries, we offer a rotating line-up of traditional Syrian delights.

Each week, we will bake made-to-order specialities available for pick-up right here in the Concordia neighborhood. All our food is made fresh, using quality ingredients, and prepared in our fully-licensed home kitchen.

Leila Yacoub Piazza is a first generation Syrian-American who has been cooking for family and friends all her life. She spent a month in Syria visiting her brother and sister in August 2018; her first trip home since the Syrian war broke out in 2011. She was happy to see life returning to normal as the fighting has stopped, and is hopeful that a lasting peace will emerge.

While in Syria, Leila distributed aid to sixteen families affected by the war with funds raised through a neighborhood bake sale held in July 2018. Additional funds were distributed through a local priest in the area. Syrian Home Cooking is pledging 10 percent of profits to continued aid for families rebuilding their lives in the wake of the war.
