“Reflecting on the growing curiosity about Levantine cuisine, Nadia considers "how our people are so focused on preserving tradition, with many forces trying to erase our people and our culture, even giving our food another name." She's "interested in what happens if we are not needing to preseve and protect first, taking traditions and applying them to new ingredients or creative ideas." Nadia introduced Pierce to this idea of 'future palestine', a menu beyond borders where her heritage and Pierce's Armenian's roots could intermingle, creating a "sliver of a moment where we start to imagine what a liberated future could taste like."

Over Memorial Day weekend, Pierce called Nadia up to discuss the first meal they shared, Nadia's idea of 'future Palestine', and the deep connection between the Palestinian way of life and their land.”
