Placed cozily next to the pool, with a cool evening breeze almost making up for the simmering heat of Delhi days, I look down at the blue and white patterned plates covered to the brim with Levantine delights. Think hummus, moutabel, tabbouleh, and an array of salads. With the first mouthful, I am transported to the alleys of Jordan and Israel, serving hearty pita bread.
