With dishes like chocolate hummus and sweet potato falafel sweeping social media, chef Jad Youssef says he’s concerned that “Lebanese food is losing its identity”.

Lebanon-born Youssef moved from his home country in 1999 and has lived and worked all over the world – including Oslo, Hong Kong and now Surrey, where he runs his restaurant Lebnani.
