Preparing the wholesome meal was the embassy's Public Affairs Officer Krisi Hayden, who was joined by U.S. Ambassador Dorothy Shea.

According to Hayden, the local products used in the video were made available thanks to the USAID-funded Lebanon Investment In Quality (LINQ) Project.

She used ingredients such as Lebanese apple sauce, apple cider, labneh, olive oil, and more!
