Frequently asked questions

What kind of recipes will I find on EasternEatsHub?

Authentic, tested dishes from the Levant, the Gulf, Iraq, Egypt and North Africa — home-cooking recipes, not restaurant approximations, written so they actually work in a Western kitchen.

Are the calculators and converters free to use?

Yes, every tool on the site is free, runs in your browser, and requires no sign-up or account.

I can't find an ingredient a recipe calls for — what do I do?

Most Middle Eastern pantry staples like tahini, sumac, za'atar and pomegranate molasses are available at Middle Eastern or international grocers, and increasingly in the international aisle of larger supermarkets. Our ingredient substitution finder tool also covers common stand-ins.
