Feasts from the East: Understanding Levantine cuisine

A mixture of healthy, vibrant, clean and delightful food is how we see the cuisine of the modern Levant.

Although now divided into multiple countries, the entire region has historically been more united, and shares mostly the same culinary traditions.

Meals are generally large family affairs, accompanied by much cheer, sharing, and a great deal of warmth.

Also, the concept of hospitality and generosity plays an important role in the levantine culture. Guests are considered a blessing and are treated with lot of respect and love. Even if you visit an average household, you may expect a table full of mezze, served with different types of bread, zaátar and nuts. This is a sign that the house is open for you and so are the hearts of its residents.
