BBC: Nigel Slater's Middle East s01 720p MP4's + subs BigJ0554

E1: Nigel Slater embarks on a Middle Eastern food adventure to explore some of the oldest and grandest cuisines in the world. His first stop, Lebanon, exemplifies Levantine cuisine but is also influenced by its position on the Mediterranean. The flavours, colours and fragrances of the region have travelled the globe but Nigel sets out to eat and cook with the people who make the dishes every day - home cooks. Nigel also explores the landscapes and ingredients, which define the recipes and dishes that have been passed on through generations.
Nigel starts his journey in the capital, Beirut, at the end of Ramadan, where he is invited to celebrate Eid with a local family, before travelling south to Nabatieh near Israel and east to the Beqaa Valley close to the Syrian border.
On his journey, Nigel explores the resilience of the country and its people, their survival and preservation through decades of war, and sees how this is reflected in their pride in their culture, and most importantly, in their food.

E2: Nigel Slater visits Turkey, home to one of the world's grandest cuisines. Nigel discovers a vast and varied landscape, rich with tradition and local flavour.

E3: Nigel Slater's adventure concludes in a country shrouded in mystery and often in the headlines - Iran. He begins his journey in the bustling capital Tehran, where he samples dizi.
