A menu with a twist to reflect this surprsing and lovely Lebanese film . The film is a fabulous, uplifting comedy by a female director about Muslim and Christian women in a remote village uniting to try and stop the men fighting.
The meal brings togerther some unexpected food pairings, that whilst at first might seem challenging, actually work wonderfully.
