“Food is the core of my home”: Sunday Kitchen’s Karima Hazim

Her cookbook Sofra, the joyous Lebanese cooking school she runs with her mum, and why her kitchen is deliberately never too tidy.
The Edit Podcast with Karima Hazim

Karima Hazim is the co-founder of Sunday Kitchen, Sydney’s beloved Lebanese cooking school, which she runs with her mother. Together they turned a love of family food and storytelling into a sell-out weekly institution and a cookbook.  

In this episode of The Edit, Karima joins Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock for a tour of her century-old home in Drummoyne, full of framed photos of Beirut and Tripoli, a big Tasmanian oak dining table and a kitchen bench that is never, ever bare. She talks about growing up Lebanese in Sydney, the fashion degree that shaped the way she tells stories, and why having her daughter Layla was the moment that led her back to her mother’s kitchen. 

Plus, Karima shares her philosophy on produce as decor, why she hates kitchens with hidden appliances and the secrets behind cooking a great Lebanese spread.

“I cannot handle going into a kitchen that has everything hidden… I’m like, ‘Does anyone eat here?’”

“Hosting is such a massive spectrum… [these moments] don’t have to tire you out and kill you. They can just be whatever you want them to be.”
