Hi I read your tags on the toast poll and id like to know if I can come over for dinner tomorrow?/j

No but really though holy shit do you have a cook book or something, I want to hear more recipes from you.

Hi ok first of all ily thank you for spamming my blog and sending me this ask- I will always love talking about cooking, I’m genuinely so passionate about it and love talking about my recipes to anyone who will listen.

Second: I have so many recipes I’d love to share!! Yes literally anything!!! Especially Mediterranean, and west Asian food as that is what I grew up cooking- feel free to dm me or like send me another ask if you want it posted publicly idc if my moots haven’t unfollowed me for unironically reblogging Taylor Swift lyric edits they won’t unfollow me for posting recipes lol- I’ve got some pics on my phone I can add to the bottom of this post

Third: ik you were mostly joking with the whole cook book thing but I actually am in the early stages of illustrating a collection of recipes as a narrative about my experiences with nostalgia, love, family, and growing up in a mixed race home and connecting to my culture

I work as a para to a middle school history classroom by day, but I’m college I studied anthropology and did a final research study on second and third generation middle eastern Americans and how cultural beliefs are tied directly to food and how the passing down of food goes deeper than the recipes themselves but is actually preserving and instilling cultural values found in Bedouin populations in the Middle East-

TLDR I am always happy to talk about food, I am working on a cook book (sort of) but it won’t be out for a long long time, and you are always welcome to eat dinner with me- it would be my honor :)

Pics: rainbow tomato toast, sesame tomato and garlic toast, home made vegetable stock, jook , caramelized plantains, ramen, yellow curry, za’alouk, dolmas, fattoush :)

#I also bake but I’m not very good #I have a kickass orange cake recipe #ka’ak #and ​ma’amouls tho #and I make my own chai from scratch too :) #thanks op for the ask!!! ily so much:)

eid mubarak 🌴🌙 // today, for the first time i told my mother how i felt about eid, and how it’s a difficult time for me because i remember my grandparents and it hurts too much • fragments: ka’ak making traditions with grandma two nights before, eid prayers and grocery stop with grandpa that mama did not approve of followed by her big lunch for the whole family. lots of laughter and fruits and ka’ak, followed with turning everything into a game that makes no sense but somehow everyone is a winner and hiding eidiya to go buy books • may you be surrounded by loved ones, and remember joyful heartwarming times of the ones who are no longer with us.

Kahk Cookies

“Kahk” (also spelled “Ka’ak” or “Kahke”) Since I got my mooncake mold I was so excited about them that I made this traditional Middle Eastern pastry called “Kahk” (also spelled “Ka’ak” or “Kahke”). They are mostly enjoyed during special occasions and festivals, such as Eid. Making this beautiful pastry is very therapeutic, and such a beautiful experience.Kahk cookies are usually small, round,…

made ka’ak al quds today — second attempt at this recipe by reem kassis. i like this recipe a lot. the dough itself is uncomplicated, forgiving, and quick to put together (minimal planning or attention to timing needed!) and comes together beautifully (~10 mins in our kitchenaid 7 pro thing, but i’d imagine it isn’t too bad to knead by hand in a bowl. the dough is soft and not too sticky.) and comes out nicely crispy with a very tender crumb. i’ve found it super easy to shape them by pinching rather than rolling snakes and trying to keep the ends to stay together — just pinch a hole into the center of a dough piece and gently stretch it out from there goatse-style. you can do a little two-finger spin thing which is super fun lol

the only part i’ve had trouble with is the sesame seed stickage… too little water and the seeds stick more to each other than to the dough, but too much and the seeds just slide off. i managed to get slightly better results this time by starting with a scant tablespoon, doing a test coat, then very slowly dribbling more water into the seeds mixture until it was adhering decently enough, but i still can’t seem to get that dense crust i’m after. i wonder if it’d be easier (and maybe a little more ingredient-efficient) to just brush the rings down with very slightly thinned honey/molasses etc. and then dip them into plain seeds. both times i felt like a lot of seeds and honey went to waste afterward :/

All the Food

There’s so much to be said about the food we ate in the Holy Land but to sum it up: it was all delicious.

At pretty much every meal there was a full spread of salads, fruits, and vegetables. Each meal had a variety of: hummus, Baba ghanoush, egg salad, cole slaw, tahini, peppers, olives, pickles, tomatoes, cucumber salad, salad with dressing, fruit salad, oranges, and so much more.

Breakfast usually had hot dishes as well as pastries. The hotel in Tiberius had hot dishes of potatoes, pasta, and eggs while the hotel in Bethlehem had more of an English breakfast with tomatoes, eggs, hot dogs (yes hot dogs) and beans. My absolute favorite breakfast delicacy is the chocolate pastry; I had one every single day.

Lunch and dinner most days were a buffet starting with the above spread of salads and alternating some other main dishes of chicken, beef, or fish along with potatoes, rice, and vegetables.

On three days we had special lunches. The first was a meal of the St. Peter’s Fish from the Sea of Galilee. Jon ate the whole fish (pictured below) while I ate just a fried fillet of the fish. Two other days we had pitas with either falafel or shawarma. I was so hungry those days I forgot to take photos of them before we ate them. I can assure you there is nothing as delicious as falafel made in the Holy Land. 

One night we had the opportunity to enjoy a meal at a restaurant in Bethlehem called The Grotto. Along with the traditional salads we enjoyed some Palestinian BBQ. This reminded me a lot of South African Braai; which for those of you who have followed me for years, know I loved braai very much. It’s basically lots of meat thrown on the grill and then thrown into your mouth, and it is delicious.

We had lots of snack treats which I didn’t get pictures of because we ate them too fast (can you blame us?). We had the best falafel at Nativity Square, Bethlehem and enjoyed lots of different kinds of breads (pita and Ka’ak). The best local desert was called Knafeh, which was a sweet cheese pastry topped with sugar syrup and pistachios. 

A post about food would not be complete without also noting the delightful coffee and alcohol we enjoyed. Turkish coffee is strong and delightful, we drank it by the shot glass (because that small amount was more than enough) as frequently as it was offered. We had Bethlehem wine and Taybeh Beer; both made locally in Bethlehem. Taybeh Beer is a Palestinian brewery and has the first female brewer. We loved the Dark beer and are hoping we can find it state-side.

Nothing compares to the delicious food and hospitality of Palestine. Needless to say, by the end of the trip my pants were fitting a bit snug, but when we walked 10,000+ steps every day it was fine...

The Best Online Shop Sumac | Zeed Pantry

Sumac, also spelled sumach, refers to any of the approximately 35 species of cashew family (Anacardiaceae) flowering plants in the genus Rhus and related genera. The temperate and subtropical climates of Africa, North America, and East Asia are ideal environments for sumacs. Sumac is a spice, used in medicine, and a dye.

SUMAC

The Anacardiaceae family includes sumacs, which are dioecious shrubs and small trees that can reach a height of one to ten meters (3 to 33 feet). Some species have trifoliate or simple leaves, while others have a compound and pinnate leaves. Each flower has five tiny petals and is either greenish, creamy white, or red. It grows in dense panicles or spikes that are 5 to 30 centimeters (2 to 12 inches) long. Sumac bobs are dense clusters of reddish, thin-fleshed drupes that form at the tips of the branches at maturity and are covered in varying degrees of hairs.

Sumacs spread through seed, which is carried by birds and other animals in their droppings, and new shoots that emerge from rhizomes, creating large clonal colonies. The tangy, crimson spice that is popular in many countries is made by grinding the dried fruits of some species. A traditional beverage known as “pink lemonade” is also made with fruits by steeping them in water, straining to remove any hairs that could irritate the mouth or throat, and occasionally adding sweeteners like honey or sugar. Vitamin C is only present in trace amounts in the majority of Rhus species, making them unfit for human consumption. At approximately 39 mg/kg, the fruits of Rhus coriaria were found to have the highest levels of ascorbic acid in comparison studies. To match the north of 50 mg of L-ascorbic acid in a common lemon, sumac organic products should weigh no less than three pounds (1.36 kg). Sumac has a tart flavor due to its high levels of malic acid. Sumac can be found online. Sumac has a tart flavor due to its high levels of malic acid. Shop online for Sumac.
