Aleppian cuisine

Aleppian cuisine originates from Aleppo, a historic city in Syria. It is renowned for its rich flavors and diverse dishes, often blending Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Central Asian influences. Key ingredients include wheat, grains, vegetables, and meats, often seasoned with spices like Aleppo pepper, cumin, and coriander. Signature dishes include kebabs, stews, and a variety of mezzes (small appetizers). The use of fresh, local produce and cooking methods like grilling and slow-cooking enhance the complexity of flavors. Aleppian cuisine is not only about taste but also emphasizes communal dining, reflecting the culture's emphasis on hospitality and family.
