Qastina Palestinian Dishes Aprons

Qastina Designs celebrates Palestinian culture by incorporating traditional foods and designs on aprons. They are made in Dheisha Camp in Bethlehem, Palestine. Ther recipes printed are directly from the artist's mother's kitchen. 

Warak Enab: "Leaves" in Arabic, it's a traditional dish of rolled grape leaves, stuffed with rice, herbs, tomatoes, and sometimes meat. 

Maklooba recipe: Literally means "upside down," this favorite dish is made in a pot that is layered with vegetables, chicken, and rice that gets flipped when it's ready to be served! 

Ghalaya recipe:  literally meaning “frying pan” in Arabic, is a common dish eaten by Palestinians for breakfast, dinner, or as a lunch starter. The base for this tomato stew remains the same across families and regions: tomato, garlic, onion, and olive oil. Although Qalaya has many different variations, this apron shows what is the one and only recipe for its artist Ayed Arafah, with fresh green pepper.

About Qastina Designs: Ayed Arafah, artist and founder of Qastina, was inspired by his mother's recipes which she taught him over the phone while he was traveling abroad and missing the taste of home. He founded the company in hopes to keep the legacy of his people and their culture alive with a focus on the notion of resilience that is demonstrated through these old recipes that are being passed down through generations. With every dish there is a story and with every story is an opportunity to resurrect its history and affirm the future of its people. We hope that you will enjoy being part of keeping Qastina alive
