What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was fascinated by the ancient Madbi technique of cooking an entire goat over a bed of heated stones using only salt to preserve the meat's natural flavor. He particularly enjoyed the unique smoky sweetness of milk boiled with hot rocks and the experience of dipping fresh, juicy goat meat into local herbal honey. Mark was impressed by the purity of the ingredients and the welcoming traditional culture of the Dhofar region.
