"Do not dismiss the dish by saying that it is just simple food.
The blessed thing is an entire civilization in itself." 
- Abdulhak Sinasi



Food is inseparable from the art of story telling. Arab culture relies on a
long & sophisticated culinary tradition. In this class we bring you the 
flavours of Arabia where you can explore the richness of this fascinating
culture with food from the original Bedouins in Arabia to the Berbers
in Morocco including the fertile crescent of Lebanon, Syria & Jordan.

The history of this food is that of the Middle East.  Dishes carry the triumphs 
and glories, the defeats, the loves and sorrows of the past.  We owe some to
an event, or to one man; the Caliph who commissioned it, the poet who sang it,
or the Imam who fainted on receiving it.  - Claudia Roden
