Have all of those books mentioned. Greek and ME food a fav, not to mention North African @MsBean. They are all beautiful books, as well, Fallastin seems more approachable than Ottolenghi IMO.

Not surprised, kind of daunting, Iâm holding back on posting more picsâŚ@MsBean.
Iâm afraid if I see more I will want more. And I am all about satisfying my wants these days.
Omg - so funny, Iâm all about taking care of myself these days, and finding my happy place too @MsBean. Please check out the Recent Cookbook Acquisition Thread In a day or two. Several new ones along that line I feel compelled to shareâŚpics included.

Chorizo/beef patty melts. Caramelized onions, muenster cheese. Lotsa buttah. Sourdough slices were long so we each split a slice per patty. So much oozy juiciness. BFâs cole slaw for veg.
somethingâs up with my lensâŚ

Food processor IMO does a respectable job, much easier to use than the KA grinding attachment. Will use that for bigger jobs @mariacarmen.

My best friendâs sister lives in Chicago and she has been working her way through Falastin. I try not to look or read the posts because I do NOT need another cookbook in my house. 
But Iâm also obsessed with these flavors.

My cabbage pad Thai mixupâŚmixtape? Iâm going to look for the right word. I looked at many recipes, and it evolved over a week. It ended up including two kinds of reconstituted dried mushrooms (shitake and chanterelle), green cabbage, wilted a bit with a but if salt, green onions headed for a new life in the garden, bean sprouts with a yesterday use by date, some chicken I roasted for husband, âtrue Thaiâ basil from the Aerogarden, and 2 eggs scrambled in the wok that would have added more if I had taken more care with them.
