A mixture of healthy, vibrant, clean and delightful food is how I see the cuisine of the modern Levant.<\/p>

Although now divided into multiple countries, the entire region has historically been more united, and shares mostly the same culinary traditions.\u00a0<\/p>

Meals are generally large family affairs, accompanied by much cheer, sharing, and a great deal of warmth.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

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<\/a>, served with different types of bread, za\u00e1tar and nuts. This is a sign that the house is open for you and so are the hearts of its residents.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

While its home to the popular foods like hummus<\/a>, baba ghanoush, tabbouleh<\/a>, falafel<\/a> and shawarma<\/a>, I think its unfair to associate one of the finest cuisines of the world with just these few items. It has a lot more to offer. Some of my personal favourite specialities are : Mussakhan<\/a>, Kibbeh, Maqloubeh, Mujaddarah and<\/a>\u00a0Mansaf. <\/em>Levantine cuisine is undoubtedly a fine balance of rich flavours and modest ingredients. There are some regional variations but most of the flavours are identical.\u00a0<\/p>
