Description
Palestinian cooking uses a specific set of warm spices (allspice, cinnamon, cumin, coriander, turmeric, cardamom, nutmeg, and dried ginger) in ways that Western cooking rarely encounters: in savoury preparations without any sweetness to balance them, in quantities that Western cooks find surprising, and in combinations that would be classified as "dessert spices" in European culinary thinking. Understanding the logic of Palestinian spicing — and the Ottoman spice trade legacy that shaped it — is the key to unlocking the cuisine's flavour architecture.
