Our Commitments

Simple promises, kept in public. This page was simplified on 2026-06-11; every promise below stands, permanently, at this address.

To the people who download Sofra

All 214 recipes are free to read and cook, forever. Title, ingredients, full step-by-step instructions, photo, cultural context — free. There is no recipe paywall. There never will be.

No third-party ads. Ever. No banners, no video ads, no sponsored recipes. Sofra is funded by an optional membership ($4.99/month, $34.99/year, $99 Founding Lifetime; R$9,90/79,90/199 in Brazil) and, where clearly marked, small affiliate commissions on ingredient links — never by ads.

Your data stays minimal and is never sold. No advertiser sharing, no cross-app tracking. Privacy policy: sofrabeirut.com/privacy.

To the cooks behind the recipes

Sofra shares its earnings directly with the cooks who taught us these recipes. When Sofra earns, they earn. Contributors are credited by name where they wish; named or not, their privacy choices are respected — always.

We attribute, we do not invent. Heritage dishes carried by generations without a single author are credited to the tradition, not claimed by us. If your family cooks a dish differently, your version is also right.

If we got something wrong

Spotted an error — especially in the 49 Idlib dishes? Write to support@sofrabeirut.com. A real person answers every message. We correct, credit, and thank you publicly. And if any promise on this page ever changes, we say so here, with a date and a reason.
