This warmed my Palestinian heart. I’m so happy they took the time to learn and raise awareness about Palestinian cuisine. Felt like my childhood was being validated in a way
Also "dough with whatever grain is cheap filled with whatever meat or veg we can get our hands into" is a general category around the world and I love it
It’s awesome seeing Palestinian food being shared on such a large platform. These dishes are classics that my Teta will make our family when we go over so I’m glad others can share in the feasting!
Love that he said that this is one he has a lot of feelings about. All Middle Eastern people can’t help but feel tremendous love and respect for the people of Palestine.

8Ightz my husband is Lebanese so I’m trying to learn but rn I pretty much know the things you’d only really be able to say to someone you’re in love with and that’s about it hahaha if you speak any French then you can technically speak a bit but it’s so mixed into the Lebanese dialect of Arabic so you can’t even tell 😂
When I was a child in Palestine, I used to helps my grandma get sumac seeds when it’s sumac season it’s a messy process then she would dry and grind it
Kenafeh: Palestinian Knafeh: Syrian Knefeh: Lebanese Kunafah: Egyptian Kunefe: Turkish Koonafa: Jordanian Knafeh: Israel (Hebrew) Konafa: Gulf Region Countries (UAE, KSA, etc..) All pronunciations are correct, it all depends on the dialect.
Def agree that putting a spotlight on Palestinian culture is important. However I wouldn't get caught with the semantics. "Israel" is just the made up word by post-colonialist reconstruction of the country given to the Jewish people in the Levantine area (based on the old-testament name). Palestine is the word for the country they gave the Palestinian people. The fact is that Palestinians, Jewish, Lebanese, etc, were all mixed up in the Levantine for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It's England and France who decided what area goes to what culture, but it was such a messy, ignorant and unreliable process. Hanging on to the semantics does no one any good and falsely justifies that messed up process. Israeli (Jewish-Levantine) food, Palestinian food, Lebanese food, Jordanian food, Syrian food, they are all practically the same. Levantine food. The political mess around it is only due to post-colonialist ignorance. The people are still the same.
g d Judaism is a religion not an ethnicity. The vast majority of Jews aren't Levantine and their food isn't Levantine. Just because they took over our land and imposed themselves on us, doesn't make them part of the region or our culture. Nice try though ;)
In any pro Israel videos you have hundreds if not thousands of disgusting comments made by the opposing side. It's so sad that although there aren't any opposing comments here, you guys still manage to make it all about the Jews and Israel. By the way..... this isn't Palestinian food, but Arab food (which majority of Israelis are of Arab decent). And by the way the restaurant is considered a Lebanese one, not Palestinian.
i never get to see my family’s food represented in popular food magazines/shows so this truly means sooooo much to me. thank you so much for doing this, i can’t wait to show my family :))))
Seeing all these spices I‘ve never used before in a dish, I‘d really like to see a Series where we get introduced to different cuisine‘s typical spices and how they could be included into dishes.
Sabi I’m very easy going about doing things however I want and testing new stuff. I really don’t even know where to start with testing new spices though, many spices are so peculiar and idk how to pair anything because it just seems overwhelming in variables.

It's great to see you guys covering middle eastern dishes. Many of these dishes are also considered Lebanese as we share much of our cuisine with our Palestinian cousins. This is my fav BA video so far, you made my day, Thanks :)
@@recoil53 We all were a single country at one time so yes, most our cuisine overlaps in many ways. Over time more singularities show between cooking styles and ingredients but the dishes' origins are shared by all middle eastern nations :)
Recoil53 Levantine (Palestine, Syria, Lebanon and North-western Jordan) not Eastern Mediterranean. We don't know when we started eating Knafeh and Makloobeh, but I don't think we can claim "it's been a few thousand years". Both are Palestinian dishes. Many people in Syria call it Nabelsieyeh (or Knafeh Nabelsieyeh).

Great episode 🤩 As a Jordanian, we eat maklobeh almost once every week, there are a varieties of this dish depending on what fried veg you use , i.e. maklobeh with fried eggplant , with cauliflower or with fried potatoes ( cut into circles) but the best one in my opinion is the one with all 3 . Knafeh is found in every celebration, weddings, graduation parties and the list goes on! This episode is really great as it features our traditional dishes (Palestine, Jordan, syria and lebanon share alot of dishes) that I am proud of!🌷

you did everything so perfectly, just a few more practices and you’ll be right on. as a palestinian i loved seeing you try and recreate our wonderful dishes, it makes me so happy to see you want to learn many different cultures and cuisines💛
Knafeh is about the best thing I've ever tasted. This was a great episode Andy -
This is my favorite non-Gourmet Makes series. MORE!
Great episode 🤩
As a Jordanian, we eat maklobeh almost once every week, there are a varieties of this dish depending on what fried veg you use , i.e. maklobeh with fried eggplant , with cauliflower or with fried potatoes ( cut into circles) but the best one in my opinion is the one with all 3 .
Knafeh is found in every celebration, weddings, graduation parties and the list goes on!
This episode is really great as it features our traditional dishes (Palestine, Jordan, syria and lebanon share alot of dishes) that I am proud of!🌷
Thank you Bon Appetit for acknowledging Palestine and Palestinian culture.
Such perfection in release timing!
Thank you for the amazing content as always. I'm proud to be a fan of BA and all of you guys.
So much positive energy in this comment section 💓💓
I just want to smell her kitchen. What a legend. Thank you for sharing! Lots to learn here.
I aspire to be this woman, one day having my restaurant and having my makeup look as snatched as hers 😍
Madeline Litstone ok, adding “snatched” to my 72-year-old vocabulary!
Never tried this type of cuisine. Looks divine.

@@alimuhareb8170 I live in remote rural America. We are very limited. When I get to the city, will try.
It’s so super flavorful! I hope you get to try it soon!!
You're missing out.
“Palestine” sounds divine as well, don’t you think?
