Flatbread with yogurt and fresh za’atar oil

Flabread is a delicious and rewarding substitute for bread. It’s fluffy, it’s tasty, it’s something else. And a dot of yogurt topped with ‘fresh za’atar’ turns it into something festive.. And those red speckles? That’s a little sumac to top it off.

Red lentil soup with tamarind

An incredibly delicious soup, the tamarind makes it all the way. Along with all the spices. A soup for all year round.

Focaccia à la the Middle East

Bread is not my thing. I don’t really like bread. I don’t know why, but that’s just the way it is. Still, the bread we make at à la Damaris, I eat a few pieces of it every now and then. Because I can’t resist it anyway, because it’s very tasty. This focaccia absolutely is. Very spicy, very fluffy and very tasty.

Leek pistachio soup with sumac

Yes, leeks and pistachio and make a soup out of them. It’s a very logical combination, isn’t it? No, not at all. And yet honor if you make it. Because it’s simply delicious. And the sumac, which tops it off wonderfully with that acid in it.
