This tradition\, known as Mouneh\, was not simply about preserving ingredients—it was about preserving knowledge\, family recipes\, hospitality\, and memories. Preparing Mouneh was a communal ritual that brought generations together around food. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nToday\, this tradition resonates strongly with contemporary ideas about seasonal cooking\, sustainability\, reducing food waste\, and reconnecting with local food cultures. While Mouneh is deeply rooted in the culinary traditions of the Al Sham region\, the concept of cooking from a well-stocked pantry is universal\, making it an accessible and inspiring story for a wide audience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMore details and tickets coming soon. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Dinner Experience\n\n\n\nThroughout the evening\, Chef Sami Tamimi will guide guests through a menu centered on pantry staples and the traditions of Mouneh. Each course will highlight preserved flavors and seasonal ingredients while sharing the stories behind them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGuests will discover: \n\n\n\n\nPreserved ingredients and traditional preservation techniques;\n\n\n\nThe relationship between food\, the seasons\, and the land;\n\n\n\nStories of family traditions\, heritage\, and migration;\n\n\n\nHow Pantry Cooking Remains Relevant in Today’s Kitchens.\n\n\n\n\nThrough Sami’s perspective\, the evening builds a bridge between the culinary traditions of the Al Sham region and Amsterdam’s diverse audience\, demonstrating how food preservation connects cultures around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Chef Sami Tamimi\n\n\n\nChef Sami Tamimi is a Palestinian chef\, restaurateur\, and cookbook author known for sharing the flavors and stories of Palestinian cuisine and the broader culinary traditions of the Al Sham region with audiences around the world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBorn in East Jerusalem\, Sami’s cooking is deeply rooted in the traditions of his homeland\, combining authentic flavors with a contemporary approach to hospitality.
