Yes, another food blog.
Yay, another month means another Cookbook Club selection! For August, we have The Arabesque Table, by Reem Kassis. This was another we weren't able to get our hands from the library, but did find a few options published online to get us a taste of this book. This dish is pretty easy to bring together,...

I think this is our last recipe for the month from Falastin. Check out our other attempts: Lemon Chickpea Salad (Balilah), Saffron Butternut Squash Soup, and Chicken Musakhan! We'll definitely return to this cookbook later though... we have quite a few more recipes earmarked. This has been one of our favorite cookbooks since the Kitchn Cookbook Club... Continue Reading →
We're a little bit in love with January's Cookbook Club selection Falastin. We always bookmark some recipes at the beginning of the month when there's a new cookbook. This month, we bookmarked pretty much the entire book, and just might actually follow through. This soup was pretty easy to prepare and a great winter and... Continue Reading →
January's pick for the Cookbook Club is Falastin, by Sami Tamimi and Tara Wigley. I've been a fan of Tamimi's for a long time, as he co-authored one of my all-time favorite cookbooks, Jerusalem, so I was very excited about this pick. While Jerusalem looks at the food of Jerusalem from both the Jewish and... Continue Reading →
About a month ago, our friend/former co-worker Noel moved with her husband to Bahrain. Not exactly your average move to the other side of town, or across state lines. Noel has been blogging about their move and adventures halfway around the world, which is so fun to see! I was pretty jealous reading about... Continue Reading →
We're having an impromptu New Year's Eve "party" tonight. I put party in quotations because we're not exactly a wild bunch. We're having food, alcohol, and friends on NYE, so I feel like it qualifies as a party, but we're doing a lot more playing of board games than dancing on tables. I've wanted to... Continue Reading →
Today is World Food Day. I'm not going to lie, when I saw that name, I thought - "Yesssssss, a day dedicated to my favorite thing, food! Let's eat tons of food in the name of this brilliant holiday!" Well, I guess that's sort of true, but come to find out, there's a lot more... Continue Reading →
What's the first thing people think of when they think of Turkish food? Kofte is the first thing for most people, but there's so much more! Don't worry, we're going to keep cooking our way through them and sharing with you here. Gözleme is one of the many great Turkish street foods. (Lahmacun is another that if you... Continue Reading →
Given all of the turmoil in the news these days, I need a break! So let's focus on one of my favorite and non-political aspect of the Middle East - the food! If anything can bring us all together, food just might be it. Maybe if we all get together and cook for and with... Continue Reading →
This side dish has a great flavor that belies its simplicity and ease of cooking. I could eat this as a meal (I really love couscous), but it's perfect as a side dish with pretty much any dish with Middle Eastern, Mediterranean, or North African flavors. I made it tonight with these braised chicken thighs!... Continue Reading →
Bon Appetit Baby!
