Michelle Nazzal

Michelle Nazzal is a chef and designer based in Oakland, California. Through her ongoing and ever-changing project, Mishmish, she works to preserve Palestinian food and cultural traditions in the diaspora. Mishmish is inspired by remembrance, liminality, and how we move through the world when we’re severed from our ancestral lands. In exploring these themes, Michelle Nazzal has collaborated with restaurants, farmers, cultural workers, and artists from the San Francisco Bay Area, New York City, London, Barcelona, Sicily, and beyond.
