*(totally non-traditional but definitely delicious) Levantine /lɪˈvantɪn//ˈlɛv(ə)ntɪn//lɪˈvantʌɪn/: Anything pertaining to the Levant, the region centred around modern Syria, Israel, Palestine and Jordan. Levantine cuisine is found in the modern states of Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Syria. Even Cyprus, in the eastern Mediterranean, has strong Levantine influences. My love for middle eastern food is well documented. From falafel
