Syrian Baked Eggplants with Tomato
Welcome to Syria and welcome to the Med! Food plays such a fundamental role in shaping us and our life-habits, that we believe this is what makes all the Mediterranean people feel so at home in each other's lands. Whether we have faith in different things, whether we speak different languages, whether we look different, we have a lot in common; the way we cook, the type of food we eat, the way we share our meals.
