What makes this blog halal is that we that focus recipes that does not contain Alcohol or Pork meat. We are sharing mostly in Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, and Asian Cuisine (Indian, Malaysian, Thailand, etc) since they are popular among halal eaters.
Nonetheless, If you are you are looking for non-alcoholic or pork-free recipes, this is the right blog to read.
Who founded this blog?
This blog was co-founded by both Saif Odeh and the mother Cecilie Rocaberte (you can call her Chelly) in 2019 as a shared passion project celebrating halal food recipes, culture, and family.
Saif started to learn how to cook when he was 12 years old. His father is Jordanian, and his mother is from the Philippines, and both of them are skilled in cooking, which is where he got his inspiration. Furthermore, he also learned most of his Arabian & Middle Eastern cooking from his late Grandmother, may God rest her soul in peace.
Throughout his life, he had explored and eaten many delicious street foods, and international restaurants, and even watched the Food channel. Because of that, he realizes cooking is his passion which prompted him to create a food blog called The Odehlicious.
Chelly is a partner and co-founder of The Odehlicious since some of the Middle Eastern and Filipino food recipes you see in the blog were inspired by her. Without her, you wouldn’t be able to learn most of these food recipes.
Because this started, she was a registered nurse in Kuwait for 30 years before retiring in the Philippines. Aside from cooking, she loves to play piano, flower plant and watch cooking channels.
Today, she continues to manage The Odehlicious and its content. We’re proud that the blog remains a place for timeless recipes and stories from around the world.
