Jerusalem A Cookbook


We loved this cook book. Everything looked tasty and it was hard to decide what to make. We picked 6 different dishes and I can say ALL of them turned out more than delicious and each added a splash of color to the table.

Sabih (Pita with Tomato salad)
This was the dish to impress. It looks amazing and was so yummy.



Musabaha (warm chickpeas with warm hummus)



Kofta b'siniyah (Lamb meatballs) 
Meatballs are always a crowd pleaser but these were especially good. They were tender and the hummus-like sauce made it a dish that needed no other sides. 




Red pepper & baked egg galettes



Chermoula Eggplant with bulgar & yoghurt
I really liked this recipe but I would use a lot less of the spices or at least add it in more carefully, so it doesn't overpower the rest of the dish. I like how presentable it looked but it needed something to go with it, like a fresh tomato salad. 



Dessert - Mutabbaq
