About this experience
Spend an afternoon in a real Jordanian home. Your host shows you how to fry the aubergine and cauliflower for maqluba, layer it with rice and chicken, and flip the pot upside down at the table – the moment everyone waits for.
While it cooks you make mutabbal, fattoush and a pot of sage tea, and hear about family life, weddings and Ramadan traditions. Recipes are sent to you by email afterwards.
