Foods of Egypt

By Barbara Sheen and Barbara Sheen Busby

One of the most enjoyable ways to learn about other cultures is through their food. This book takes us to Egypt, where the daily fare includes koshari, taamiya or falafel, and skewered dishes like kebabs, kofta, and shawarma. The national dishes ful (a creamy bean dish) and moloukheyah (a green soup) are described, as well as the special Kahk cookies made to commemorate Ramadan. Simple and delicious recipes are provided for hummus, lentil soup, ful medames, stuffed dates, and basboosa.
