Library > Community Presentations

Presenter: Tarek Ali Ahmad

Delivered: London on November 24, 2019

Sfeeha was a staple in my childhood, and I've always wondered about its origins and regional variations. This presentation explores the history of sfeeha and the differences in types, ingredients, and flavors found across Lebanon and the Middle East.
