Whatever you can eat in Israel, in a hotel, the food is prepared all the same. Except in Cana Guest House, the food is home made. And not only that, it’s Middle Eastern cuisine!
If you want to eat original Middle Eastern cuisine, you don’t need to stay at Cana Guest House. You simply call them and visit; the food will be waiting for you. When you are on a Jesus Trail tour, call them or pay them a visit and you will eat what you see here, only better..

And what food makes it typically Middle Eastern?
Hummus
Hummis is a mashed chickpea dip made with tahini, olive oil, garlic and lemon juice. It is an enticing appetizer, served with pita bread.
Tahini is the foundation of many good Middle Eastern recipes. The paste can also be used as a spread on bread and crackers.
Falafel
Perhaps the most widely recognized Middle Eastern food is falafel. The fried balls made of chickpeas, onions and spices make for a tasy appetizer or light vegetarian meal. Falafel makes a great sandwich inside pita bread with veggies.
Tabouleh
Tabouleh is a salad that has a nice “kick”. It makes a great alternative to a traditional salad; tabouleh is made of cracked wheat, mint, parsley and more.
Pita bread is a staple in the Middle Eastern diet. It is served with just about every meal. Warm, toasted, stuffed, or dipped, pita bread is the most versatile food in Middle Eastern cooking. It’s easy to make, too!
Baklawa
In the Middle East, baklava is called baklawa. The spelling may be different but the tastes are very similar. The Greeks use honey, while in the Middle East, orange blossom or rose water is used for the syrup. This delicious desert may be time consuming, but well worth the effort!
Baba ghannouj is a vegetarian favorite. It’s smooth and creamy texture makes it ideal for dipping pita bread or vegetables.
Turkish Coffee
Turkish coffee is famed for its bold, rich taste. It has a hint a cardamom and is prepared carefully in an ibrik and allowed to sit a minute before serving to allow the coffee grains to fall to the bottom of the cup. According to a Turkish proveb “coffee should be black as hell, strong as death, and as sweet as love”.
Foul Mudammes
Foul Mudammes is boiled fava beans with spices. Some people prefer them mashed, and foul is traditionally breakfast food eaten with pita bread.
Turkish Delight
Turkish Delight are sweet candies called lokum in the Middle East. Made from sugar and cornstarch, these candies are irresistible!
