THE RECIPE HUNTERS IN
CYPRUS

Our adventures in Lebanon bring us first to Souk el Tayeb where we learn the inspirational stories and traditional recipes behind the women of Lebanon. We then spend a week living with the favorite aunt in a small Sunni village called Ketermaya on Mount Lebanon learning her family's traditional recipes. We leave Mount Lebanon to try on bee suits, spending a day as apiarists in the flowering fields of south Lebanon. Afterwards, we roadtrip with a local on a food trail to discover forgotten recipes in the Bekka wine valley. Next, we live the high-life attending a glamourous Lebanese wedding where we meet the former first lady to Lebanon, Nayla Moawad. Sit Nayla invites us VIP to her home town of Zgharta on the outskirts of Tripoli where we learn to make traditional kibbeh. In the end, our culinary journey reaches beyond the borders of Lebanon, introducing us to Syrian and Armenian recipes from people who have found refuge in Lebanon and now call it home! Check out our Stories below!!
