Middle Eastern Cuisine

Middle Eastern cuisine is a mosaic of flavors from Lebanon, Israel, Turkey, and Iran - aromatic and rich in spices. Hummus, falafel, baba ghanoush, and tahini are staples you can prepare at home. Kebabs, shawarma, and kofta - meat specialties from the grill and rotisserie. Tabbouleh, fattoush, and halloumi salad - fresh salads for hot days. Shakshuka, ful medames, and labneh - Middle Eastern style breakfasts. Spices: sumac, za'atar, baharat, and ras el hanout add a distinctive aroma. Pita bread, lavash, and manakish - baked at home or bought. Sweets: baklava, halva, and knafeh - a sweet ending. Vegetarian and vegan cuisine has strong traditions here.
