    Sumac & Sunshine (formerly Tasting Jerusalem)

    Want to explore the flavors of the Middle East and Mediterranean? So many cuisines and interesting ingredients but where should you start? You're in the right place. Sumac & Sunshine (formerly Tasting Jerusalem) is all about ingredient-driven discovery of the cuisines and flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean.

    Preserved lemons are a great place to start. Or discover a spice blend like baharat or the tangy bite of a barberry.

    If you're looking to get dinner on the table, try my Harissa Sheet Pan dinner and put both preserved lemons and the spicy, smoky, floral rose harissa to use!
