Damaskus

See, feel, taste, smell, hear - those who allow Rafik Schami and his sister Marie Fadel to guide them on a cultural and culinary stroll through their hometown of Damascus will discover the secret of the Queen of the Orient with all their senses. One immerses themselves in the vibrant diversity of the old city of Damascus and the accompanying life stories, can almost smell cardamom and coriander at the spice market, and hear the calls of street vendors and coffeehouse storytellers. In doing so, one literally gets a taste: numerous original recipes inspire to recreate them. A feast for the eyes and food for thought in the truest sense of the word.
