It shares similarities with the food of the Eastern Mediterranean region, such as rice-stuffed vegetables, grape leaves, shawarma, kebab, and kofta. Examples of Egyptian recipes include ful medames which is mashed fava beans; kushari, lentils and pasta; and molokhia, bush okra stew. Pita bread, known locally as eish Baladi, and cheesemaking in Egypt dates back to the 1st Dynasty of Egypt, with feta cheese being the most common type of cheese consumed today.

Common meats in Egyptian cuisine are rabbits, pigeons, chicken, and ducks. Lamb and beef are usually used for grills. Falafel is one of the famous fast foods in Cairo, and the desserts pies prepared in the region for at least 2500 years.
