An illustrated exploration of food heritage & culture

The Mediterranean region is home to the rich cultures of the Levant, North Africa and a number of sun-kissed European and Middle Eastern countries, including my family’s two countries, Jordan and Italy. Each of the following sections in my Illustration Blog is an exploration of the food, traditional fashions, and touristic landmarks of this sea basin. Some of these categories are still in the making, so make sure to check back in to see what’s new!
