Food Diplomacy Initiative

The initiative presents Palestinian cuisine as an essential expression of national identity and collective memory. It documents traditional dishes and the stories, customs, occasions, and social practices associated with them, while using food as a universal language for cultural exchange and as a platform for introducing Palestine and its culture to local and international audiences.

The initiative brings together young people, women, elders, and traditional cooks to exchange and document knowledge and recipes. It highlights the diversity of Palestinian cuisine and its deep relationship with the land, agricultural seasons, and community life.
