Syrian Christian cuisine

Syrian Christian cuisine reflects Lebanon’s diverse culinary influences, blending Middle Eastern flavors with local ingredients. It features dishes like mezze (small shared plates) such as hummus, baba ganoush, and kibbeh. Fish and seafood are common, often grilled or stewed, due to proximity to the Mediterranean. Staples include flatbreads, rice, and fresh vegetables, seasoned with herbs, lemon, and olive oil. Traditional sweets like baklava and ma’amoul are popular. The cuisine emphasizes communal dining, preserving cultural and religious traditions through rich, flavorful, and comforting foods that highlight Lebanon’s diverse Christian communities.
