About Middle Eastern Cuisine

Want Middle Eastern dinner ideas? This is the cooking of the spice road: cumin, coriander, sumac, za’atar, cinnamon and saffron meet chickpeas, lentils, aubergines, yoghurt and flatbreads. Dishes are made for sharing — mezze plates, slow tagines, grilled kebabs and fragrant rice.

Meals are built around balance: something warm and spiced, something fresh and herby, something cool and creamy. Flatbread scoops up dips and stews; pickles and fresh herbs cut through richness. Much of the food is naturally vegetarian-friendly, with beans and grains doing the heavy work.

Explore the recipes below for tagines, mezze, grilled meats and the spice blends that define Middle Eastern kitchens.
