The location is a both blessing and a curse, with war being waged on this fertile ground for over four millennia. The rich soil and varied history of Lebanon have resulted in a world class cuisine. Chef Merrilees Parker travels to the capital of Beirut, and then in to the countryside of Lebanon to learn more about its people, their culture and their cuisine. Merrilees begins her journey at a Beirut juice bar. The fresh fruits and vegetables are plentiful in Lebanon and her avocado smoothie is a great start to breakfast. Next she meets up with Nayla Audi who is a well-known food writer and restaurateur. Together they make Fatteh, which is a chick pea based dish with yoghurt. Breakfast is topped off with a trip to Corniche to sample Manoushie, an Arabian bread. Merilees goes in to a Lebanese home to help prepare the national dish, Kibbeh. For lunch she visits a French café. The French took over Beirut after World War I, and even though the city was destroyed by civil war in the 80’s, the influence on cuisine and architecture remains. Dinner is served in downtown Beirut at Johnny Ferrah's chic restaurant: Bread. Johnny dines with Merrilees and together they sample calamari and shrimp, bathed in a squid oil vinaigrette, followed by a delicious seafood sampler with a taste of sardine. After a day in Lebanon's chicest city, Merrilee heads to its oldest, the ancient city of Tyre.

While over-fishing has taken its toll on the Mediterranean stocks, the Tyre markets are still a good destination for fresh seafood. Merrilees helps to prepare the local fish, which is a no-frills affair, using little more than a squeeze of lemon for flavour. Merrilees continues her journey to
