Due to its nature as a fertile agricultural landscape, Jericho is perhaps one of a few destinations in Palestine where the supply chain of food production can be observed in its whole. Following the water from generous eternal springs running through ancient open-air aqueduct routes, the Jericho Culinary Tour exposes important elements of the food production cycle from farms and farmers, bakers and merchants and finally cooks in the kitchen. At every stop, we will taste and shop for fresh seasonal ingredients directly from the source while explaining the advantages and challenges that the local community has operating in Jericho. Once the basket is complete, we will head back to the kitchen to learn how to make the most out of the very same ingredients we just collected, and then finally enjoy the results in a healthy well-deserved Palestinian meal.
