Chantal visits a friend in Syria (introduced as Nora) to learn and observe two traditional Syrian recipes: ragaga (thin layered bread pie with shredded chicken and onions) and malehi/mlehy (a bulgur and jameed/jamid dish served with a yogurt sauce and ghee). The video documents simmering chicken to make a flavorful broth, frying and seasoning large quantities of onions in olive oil, making and resting a simple flour-and-water dough, rolling thin layers and layering them with the chicken filling to make ragaga, baking and serving the pie with laban (yogurt). The next day the hosts prepare malehi using dried jameed reconstituted into a yogurt sauce mixed with chicken broth, mashing bulgur with ghee and yogurt, plating on large communal dishes, and sharing the meal (Chantal and Salah).
