From the article: Middle Eastern Holidays and Special Occasion Food Recipes and Planning
Special occasions are times when you get into the kitchen and prepare your best dish. I like to prepare an appetizer, usually a variety of hummus, and then a salad. One of my favorite main dishes is a crown lamb roast sitting alongside spinach pilaf. I end my meal with a delicious dessert like umm ali. What are some of your favorite foods to serve on special occasions?
