Cooking of the eastern Mediterranean coast: Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, Jordan and Israel. Tahini, lemon, garlic, olive oil, sumac and soft herbs are the base. Sourness often comes from sumac or lemon, not from vinegar.

A cuisine is set once and never changes
A recipe keeps its name and its cuisine for the whole of its life. Everything else — the wash, the dredge, the timings — belongs to a revision and may be revised. A change to the dish writes a new revision, and the version it replaces is kept.
