There is a small piece of land on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean that, through the centuries, has managed to preserve one of the richest gastronomic heritages in the world—Lebanon. There, food is not just a necessity. It is poetry, ritual, a reason to gather with the people you love.
Anyone who has ever sat at a Lebanese table knows—this is not just a meal, it is mezze. A long, unhurried act of sharing, where dozens of small plates are served, each with its own story. Hummus, baba ghanoush, fattoush, tabbouleh, labneh—names that sound like songs and flavours that linger long after the last bite. мезе. Долг, лежерен чин на споделување, каде се сервираат десетици мали чинии, секоја со своја приказна. Хумус, баба гануш, фатуш, табуле, лабне – имиња што звучат како песни и вкусови што остануваат долго по последниот залак.
But Lebanon does not captivate us only with taste. It seduces with the harmony of ingredients—the freshness of mint, the acidity of lemon juice, the depth of za’atar, and the warmth of olive oil. This is a cuisine that does not overdo things but carefully balances them. It does not hide behind heavy sauces—on the contrary, its power lies in simplicity.
In Lebanon, there is an unwritten rule: if someone invites you to lunch, refusing is considered almost as an insult. It is said that even if you tell them, you have already eaten, they will serve you even more—not because you are hungry, but because that is how they show respect and welcome.
In many Lebanese homes, the table is not set only for family members. It is always prepared with a secret plan: “Maybe someone will come by.” And if someone does—there is food to eat. Food there is not measured in portions, but in smiles. It is a gesture of hospitality, a sign that you are accepted not as a guest, but as one of their own.
On April 26, that very spirit will come to life here at Forza Fusion, through the guest appearance of Chef Jad Ziade—a gastronomic maestro with over 17 years of experience, who has cooked for royal families, worked as a yacht chef across the Mediterranean, and served as a consultant in Bali, Switzerland, and Africa.
