"Food
prepared by Deeb sings on the plate. The meal I especially loved
featured his signature dish — a whole lamb marinated in
cinnamon and garlic and stuffed with rice, nuts and spices and
cooked to fragrant perfection and served with a red wine reduction
full of favour." —
Maeve O'Meara, The Sun-Herald, March, 2006. 
Sybil and Bechora Deeb opened Deeb's
Kitchen at the corner of Cassilis Road and Buckaroo Lane in 1999.
The restaurant is located in the old Eurunderee School House which
was built in 1902.Bechora was born in a small village in Northern Lebanon. He has loved to cook since he was a young boy, It was his passion for good food that led Bechora's uncle — the cheese maker in the village — to pass on to his nephew the centuries old tradition of Lebanese cheese making. Eventually Bechora came to Australia where he worked as chef to the Lebanese Embassy in Sydney for 12 years, some times catering for garden parties for up to 300 people. Following this he was chef to Archbishop Abda Khaliffe, the head of the Catholic Maronite Church in Australia. Finally he and Sybil moved to Mudgee opening Deeb's Kitchen in one of the Mudgee district's premier locations just opposite Huntington Estate Winery. Deeb's Kitchen was featured in the SBS Food Lovers' Guide and in the March issue of the Qantas in-flight magazine. You can enjoy Bechora's signature dish Oozie, a whole-baked lamb on special dinner nights. Bechora Deeb also caters for special occasions and was the 2006 guest chef for Dining in the Gallery at the Cudgegong Gallery in Gulgong. The food was chosen to complement the tableware created by renowned ceramicists Lex Dickson and Mitsuo Shoji.  |
