Lena Artunian is a food content creator, chef, and influencer who has taken inspiration from her late father, an acclaimed chef and entrepreneur in his days. Lena’s father was a master of Syrian delicacies and passed down his knowledge and passion for food to his daughter Lena Artunian at a young age. She grew up helping her parents in the family’s restaurant, learning the art of cooking and the dedication it takes to create delicious and authentic dishes.
Lena’s father’s dedication and passion for food inspired her to start her own business, HyeFeastLA, on Instagram. She began sharing her family’s recipes and tips for cooking delicious and wholesome Syrian delicacies, preserving the family’s legacy. Lena’s followers have appreciated her step-by-step instructions and recipes, and many have thanked her for helping them learn the recipes of their ancestors.
Lena’s cooking ideology is heavily influenced by her father and mother, who always promoted the use of fresh ingredients, premium quality, and organic meat for his signature aroma and taste, which left a deep impression on customers. This process has been venerated within the family for decades and is something that Lena continues to carry on in her own business.
The basis of Lena’s business is to share her family’s recipes and cooking tips with younger generations worldwide and to keep the family legacy alive. She has been active on Instagram for the past ten years. Her fans, followers, and supporters have come to appreciate her kitchen skills and dedication to preserving her family’s recipes and traditions.
Lena has taken her food business to the next level, and aside from creating scrumptious recipes and sharing them on her blog, she also provides private one-on-one, group settings, and Zoom cooking classes. These have become increasingly popular during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
In the future, Lena hopes to open her own restaurant and continue to share her family’s recipes and traditions with the world. She believes every meal has a story and a precious memory behind it; through her culinary blogs and classes, she seeks to keep her father’s memory alive. Lena’s dedication to preserving her family’s recipes and traditions is something that sets her apart from the crowd, and her passion for food is evident in every dish she creates.
