Apricot Sun: Mediterranean Burgers Cooking Class

Family Flavors, Modern Twist

with Apricot Sun Spice & Sauce Co.

#MediterraneanBurgers

Welcome!

I grew up in a foodie family in Amman, Jordan. My dad was a true flavor master—grinding his own spices and marinating proteins with care. In the summertime, he loved grilling on our rooftop terrace in Jabal Amman, often telling stories about his adventurous rides to the shore of Aqaba for the freshest ingredients from farmers, butchers, and fishers.

His spice blends were his pride, and my mom transformed them into unforgettable meals.

That love for bold, homegrown flavor—and the rich culinary traditions of the Middle East—inspired me to start Apricot Sun. I wanted to share the vibrant, wholesome recipes I grew up with, and show that eating healthy doesn’t mean sacrificing flavor. Every seasoning blend and sauce is rooted in heritage and made to bring joy to the table.

Let’s cook, taste, and celebrate the season!
