Mohammed Kadalah, lecturer of Arabic at SCU, I invited his students along with members of the MENA (Middle East and North Africa)  students' club to an Arab cooking night. The students and Mohammed prepared traditional Middle Eastern dishes such as Tabouleh salad, Baba ganoush, mashed ful (beans), Za'tar Tthyme) pies, Kunafeh, and hummus. Most students participated in the preparation and making of the food. The students listen to Arabic music while preparing the food. Mohammed explained the process and history of some of the dishes. He also illustrated some food traditions of hospitality that are common in the Arab countries.
