This event is part of A Season of Arabic Culture, aiming to share culture from the Arabic-speaking world to those who live, work and pass through the City of London.
A Levantine Storytelling and Culinary Experience
Meet us where spices tell stories, and every bite echoes centuries of culture. This event is a journey through the heart of the Levant, where guests gather around to eat, listen and share. You’ll begin with a story, pause to share a meal, then return to the tales, weaving food and folklore in one intimate and immersive experience.
Through the aroma of simmering stews and the rhythm of ancient tales, we explore the food, folklore, and forgotten histories of the region once known as Bilad al-Sham. From the bustling kitchens of Damascus to the olive groves of Palestine, each dish we prepare opens the door to a story rich in flavour, memory, and meaning.
The meal will be delivered by Elias Matar, Storyteller, Playwright director and Drama Therapist, and prepared (with love) by Khaled Ziada, founder of Marsm.
