What the creator captured
Luke Martin was fascinated by the unique textures of Bedouin cuisine, particularly the Oria which he compared to a savory meat Mochi. He was deeply impressed by the resilience of Badar's family, who continue to preserve their traditional culture despite the extreme heat and harsh desert conditions. The highlight of his meal was the smoky Malby goat paired with local honey, showcasing flavors that can only be achieved through ancient cooking methods.
