Middle Eastern

A. region where the meze table is a kind of communion, the manakish comes off the saj before sunrise, and dinner is a slow braise that has been waiting since morning. Bread before everything. Rosewater and saffron at the end. We pulled together the dishes worth knowing — eight meals deep, from Beirut to Damascus to Jerusalem to Istanbul — from the cooks who keep them honest.

Middle Eastern sits under Cook in the HowTo Food menu. It has 7 sections: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Snack, Sauce, Side and Appetizer. 1 guide is published here so far.
