Rahel Zegeye born in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, brings her extensive expertise in traditional Ethiopian cuisine to Tawlet on August 1st in collaboration with Tawlet’s resident artist Sarah Farahat. Zegeye came to Lebanon over 10 years ago as a domestic worker in order help support her parents. In addition to her day job she started catering her delicious dishes to daring Lebanese clientele. Her favorite dish (featured in Tawlet’s menu this week) is Doro Wat, an exquisite blend of spicy red pepper sauce, chicken, hard boiled eggs served over traditional Injera bread. Zegeye is active with the Migrant Workers’ Task Force in the struggle for fairer working conditions, ending the sponsorship system and support for domestic workers in hospitals or prisons. She avidly pursues theatrical work, currently directing a film with AUB students about the Lebanese migrant worker system.
