If there’s one thing that unites people across cultures, it’s food. And that’s exactly what Beryl Shereshewsky captures so beautifully in her video 'This Is Palestinian Food'. In a world where Palestine is too often in the headlines for conflict, we think it’s important to share content that highlights its culture, history and, of course, its cuisine.

Beryl’s video does just that—giving Palestinian food the spotlight it deserves. Through home-cooked dishes and personal stories, she brings attention to the rich and diverse flavours of Palestine, reminding us all that food is more than just sustenance; it’s a connection to heritage, identity, and community.

Beryl Shereshewsky: the storyteller behind global flavours

Beryl Shereshewsky is a New York-based content creator and filmmaker with a passion for food and storytelling. Her journey into the world of global cuisine didn’t start on YouTube—before launching her own channel, she was part of Great Big Story, a storytelling platform under CNN. There, she developed and produced food-related series that explored unique culinary traditions from around the world.

What sets Beryl apart is her approach. She doesn’t just cook recipes; she shares the voices behind them. Her content is a celebration of diversity, featuring dishes from people across the globe who contribute their family recipes, food memories and cultural insights. Each video is a collaboration, making it more than just a cooking show—it’s a cultural exchange.

The charm of her videos

Beryl’s videos feel personal and immersive, as if you’re sitting in a friend’s kitchen, listening to stories from around the world. She takes suggestions from her audience, turning her channel into a space where food lovers from different backgrounds can come together. Whether she’s making a traditional Nigerian jollof rice, exploring the sweets of Iran, or diving into the flavours of the Philippines, there’s always an element of learning and discovery.

Beyond the recipes, her videos offer a sense of connection. Food is deeply personal and Beryl’s storytelling ensures that each dish comes with the history, emotions and experiences of the people who share it. It’s a refreshing break from the usual food content online, where the focus is often just on aesthetics or trendy recipes.
