Levantine cuisine

From WikiMD's Health & Wellness Encyclopedia



Brief summary - Levantine cuisine



Levantine cuisine is the traditional cuisine of the Levant, known in Arabic as the Bilad al-Sham, which covers a large area of the Eastern Mediterranean. It is found in the modern states of Cyprus, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Syria, and parts of southern Turkey near Adana, Gaziantep, and Antakya (the former Vilayet of Aleppo). Conversely, some of the dishes listed below may have early origins in neighboring regions, but have long since become traditions in the Levant. Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of Levantine cuisine is meze including tabbouleh, hummus and baba ghanoush.
