Breakfast

Fatteh is a generous Levantine dish made with crisp pita bread, warm chickpeas and a creamy yogurt, tahini, lemon and garlic sauce, finished with toasted pine nuts, parsley and spices. The contrast between crunchy bread, tender chickpeas and cool creamy sauce is essential to the dish.

Zaatar manakish are Levantine flatbreads topped with an aromatic mixture of zaatar and olive oil, then baked in a very hot oven until the dough is soft, lightly crisp around the edges and deeply infused with thyme, sumac and sesame flavours.

Thin, flexible Russian pancakes with lightly golden edges, made with milk, eggs and flour. Blini can be served with savoury toppings such as sour cream, smoked salmon or mushrooms, or with sweet accompaniments such as honey, jam or berries.
