Lebanese Legend Food Festival with Master-chef Jameela Zakey,Afraa restaurant & lounge,Kolkata

KFBian Urmi with Chef Jameela Zakey

             Afraa Restaurant and Lounge hosting a special gastronomical indulgence and I was fortunate enough to have been invited as part of KFB (Kolkata Food Bloggers) to attend the ongoing event “Lebanese Legend”. It was a very special afternoon at Afraa Restaurant and Lounge to experience different dishes form Lebanese, Syrian and Middle Eastern cuisines guided by Master-chef Jameela Zakey from Damascus.

...  Then introduced with the wonder woman Chef Jameela Zakey, born to a Syrian father and Lebanese mother.She has flown down to Kolkata to tickle the palettes with an interesting mix of Lebanese, Syrian and other West Asian cuisines. Her story of success was very inspirational and we got to know how she achieved so many things with all odds...

... As chef’s version if we talk about “Mezze” - is a veg appetizer which is a beautiful mix dish from different Middle Eastern cuisines named “Hummus”,” Labneh” and “Baba Ghanoush” and generally served before any heavy meal. It was served in a very fashioned manner with olive topping in white square dish with a special Middle Eastern chilli.

The festival is on till 20th september'2015
