I study culinary history and literature in North Africa and the Arabic speaking world; this blog is a record of what happens when I put my research and passions into play at my own stove. I translate flavors & dishes from across the Middle East and North Africa into accessible recipes for the home cook––with a few large dashes of historical & cultural commentary.

While most of the recipes featured here hail from the Middle East & North Africa or elsewhere in the Mediterranean, I also love to cook anything that happens to be in season. A recipe index lists all recipes alphabetically; you can also browse by category or search for keywords below.

For less cooking and more history & literature, check out my research blog. You can read more about my work and other writing here.

Gramming with Gaul

Winter calls for comfort foods that warm you up from the inside out! Because we’re officially in the dead of winter, and in celebration of the latest installment of @rawimagazine, here’s one of Abla Nazira’s recipes from the cookbook she co-authored with Bahiya ʿUthman: shorbat ‘adas baladi or homestyle red lentil soup (link in profile). . . . Pick up a copy of Rawi’s Food Issue to read more about Abla Nazira, including her macarona bechamel recipe and a peek into the Gloucestershire kitchens where she trained in the late 1920s (!) . . . Many thanks to @ydorghamy and @eatlikeanegyptian for helping produce this beautiful issue and tracking down a priceless photo of Abla Nazira out to lunch with friends. And how exciting to see my work beautifully laid out in English & translated into Arabic! . . . #recipe #yum #WinterFoods #RedLentils #lentils #pulses #soup #AblaNazira #ComfortFood #cumin #carrots #EgyptianFood #المطبخـالمصري

Slow bread, fast soup. Sourdough loaf + red lentil-coconut-cilantro soup.
