Welcome to Middlefeast, a place where people can come together and share different middle eastern recipes, fun dinner ideas, dinner party triumphs and defeats and above all the joy of a great meal with friends and family.
In many Middle Eastern households there is a simple code for cooking, the code is to cook with love and make enough for 3 to 4 times the residents in your house! Because as all Middle Eastern Moms have said at one point or another, “You never know who is going to stop by, and they can’t leave with an empty stomach!”
Having many fond memories of amazing dinners and dinner parties growing up and little idea how to make those meals, we have learned it is important to carry the tradition on and share our cooking with the world. So without further ado, we give you Middlefeast! Dig in!

My “Very American” sister in law found this site and sent it to me. Your blog took me back to my childhood in Pittsburgh. We made every dish you described here. I have the tool that hulls out the koosa…my mom would mix the “hushway” with her eggs….she made laban and bread every week. I still make several of the dishes for my family (although my husband won’t eat any of it)….my grandchildren (who call me Sittoo, for grandma) eat all of it. I’m thinking we are probably related…. My grandparents came over here in the late 1800’/early 1900’s (I think) by way of Ellis Island. Thanks for a walk back in time….
