For someone who loves food, the worst thing that can happen is to be placed on a strict diet of no oily/fried food, limited carbs and no sugar. In such a state, getting invites for food festivals is nothing less than torture but when I got one from Afraa for their Lebanese Legend festival, I heaved a sigh of relief. Why? Because middle-eastern food specially from Syria, Lebanon, Egypt and Jordan is one of the healthiest food that you can have. And this was endorsed by Chef Jameela Zakey, a Syrian now settled in India for the last 20 years who has come down from Bangalore to give us a taste of her delicious food.
