Levantine
"Levantine cuisine is the traditional cuisine of the Levant, known in Arabic as the Bilad ash-Sham. This region shared many culinary traditions under the Ottoman Empire which continue to be influential today. It covers the modern states of Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Northern Iraq, Palestinian territories, and parts of southern Turkey near Adana, Gaziantep, and Antakya (the former Vilayet of Aleppo).
Aleppo was a major cultural and commercial centre in this region.
Perhaps the most distinctive aspect of this cuisine are mezze including tabbouleh, hummus and baba ghanoush."
