I have never heard of this cookbook until today. I will have to check it out. thanks

The Joy of Cooking was my Pre-google primer!!!!!!!!!! I took it with me to Egypt 14 years ago and it came in so handy----it had a wonderful marinade recipe for meats (soy sauce, wine, grated ginger, etc) that became one of the most passed around recipes around--our Egyptian chef became famous for it---I'm sure that it's still in there) and the best recipe for quick oatmeal-raisin cookies that added a teaspoon of orange zest. Everybody loved them. Also the info was invaluable for ingredients, conversions, cooking instructions, etc. The JofC was and still is a valuable friend.

Also the Cotton Country Collection and The Pirate's Pantry are stained, battered friends as well.

Really that is cool. I have a friend in Egypt now. She says she likes it there alot. They do make reallly good food!

Hi!! Do you know where she is at?? We were posted in Maadi

yeah, the Egyptians did have some great dishes----their Aish Baladi was wonderful )pita like bread0 served with everything as well as tahina, baba ghanoush, etc. I would go back to Egypt in a heartbeat---so many great memories!!!!!

Hi She is in Cairo. Oh I like that tahina. I like that hummus too. I'm getting hungry lol. She loves it there too.
