Sumac Files exists to preserve and share Palestinian culinary heritage through recipes, stories, and the living memory of a cuisine that crosses borders and generations.
The name references sumac, one of the most iconic spices in Palestinian cooking, and the site's dual purpose: to be both a practical cooking resource and a cultural archive.
