Israeli and Middle Eastern cuisine

This is a region that can be defined differently, and can be tricky in many ways. When I say Israeli and Middle Eastern, I'm mainly talking about the region that is often called the Levant in the Eastern Mediterranean (modern day Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Palestine, Israel, Egypt and Cyprus) and the Arabic peninsula rather than more towards India. Despite modern politics, there's much that unites the region in food and it's a region home to many fantastic flavors.

Salads are a common part of many meals, many with vibrant, fresh flavors that are perfect alongside many other dishes.

Mezze dips and bites

Small plates are a traditional way to structure some meals, often with dips and cold dishes first followed by warm dishes after. Try some favorites:
