I am reading Here is a Body for #Egypt #foodandlit2022 and will probably try an Egyptian recipe from Feast : Food of the Islamic World, unless I am tempted by a dish mentioned in Here is a Body. So far, the only food mentioned is Kentucky Fried Chicken 😂

My gentle goal for January is to use the #foodandlit2022 challenge to find 1-2 recipes from Egypt to try.
Lynn, I like how you've framed fitness this year.

This cookbook is accompanying my reading of Middle Eastern novels this year (although it is the "Muslim World" so technically has a wider net.) Right now I'm reading a novel from the UAE so I've made two dishes from there. I'll post twice.
Balaleet is often one dish served for breakfast or fuala (similar to tea) - sweet vermicelli with ghee, sugar, rosewater, saffron, cardamon topped with a savory spiced omelet.
Not as sweet as I feared.

The cookbook author does great at combining similar recipes from different places. She calls this khouz jbab but all over the internet it is more often chibab. Pancakes with spices, date syrup, & sesame seeds.
Christmas bookish gifts! Two of them give away my region of focus for 2020. The Instant Pot title is from my in-laws and comes with an instant pot so if you have any favorite tips or recipes, I'm all ears.
pickThis cook book is full of beautiful images and a ton of recipes I am going to try. Not at vegetarian friendly as I thought it might be, but still full of good ideas.
