Welcome to Zem Han
In the images of gnarled olive<br>trees, colorful fishing boats in turquoise harbors, warm breezes and white<br>washed terraced villages, an enchanting magic draws historians and travelers to<br>the Mediterranean. The exquised sea pulls us in awe to its architectural<br>glories, dolorous yet eternally hopeful people and to its evocative pantry of<br>foods. A Mediterranean feast is not only the act of eating together with family<br>and friends, it also refers to the experiences that enrich us whenever we touch<br>upon Mediterranean history and life.
What is Mediterranean cuisine? The<br>Mediterranean is composed of many different cultures, and there seems to be no<br>single image that represents a "magical" unity. Even with the shared<br>trinity of ingredients (olive oil, wheat, and the vine), Italian food is a<br>world apart from Turkish food, yet both are Mediterranean.
The Mediterranean of today is entirely different from the Mediterranean of the<br>classical
World. In classical times there were no oranges or lemons.<br>Nor were there potatoes and tomatoes, which had yet to arrive from the East and<br>the New World. Asiatic rice, called "the blessing brought by the<br>Arabs", was unknown as were peppers from South America, maize from North<br>America, and coffee from East Africa.The grandeur of the Mediterranean has led<br>to a conception of a culinary rich Mediterranean that in reality is a late<br>twentieth-century development based on centuries of evolution
Mediterranean food is essential to<br>our lives and our happiness, and the cooking of good food satisfies both.
All this is yours to enjoy today!<br>Zem Han's specialties are numerous and certainly worth a try!
With Best Regards<br>Hakan Zirh
