http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Lunch/Snack: Fiteer (egyptian-style pizza). Snack/lunch: Fiteer (egyptian style pizza). I'm not going to even try to comment or explain the long absence.suffice it to say that I do apologise. That being said, with all that's going on right now in Egypt, I thought I would focus on a recipe today that takes me to the serene and clear waters of the north coast. However, the loud and obnoxious sister to Montazah is Marina&#...

The Egyptian Kitchen: June 2011

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Sunday, June 5, 2011. Lunch/Dinner: Stuffed tilapia with onion rice. Ah sweet summer is back. It only took ten months or so. But that's ok. To mark the return of the season, I wanted to make something a little summery: fish. I also figured I'd do fish because my mom had been suggesting for a while "why don't you do the stuffed fish? The one I do? I asked. "You just do. It goes well together". And there it is. Egypt has fish coming from the Mediter...

The Egyptian Kitchen: September 2011

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Monday, September 5, 2011. Eeek, two months already and not an entry, and the summer is done. Horrible; just horrible. But on that note, we can ease into the horror that is the fall with a simple item: coffee. While there are many ways of grouping and dividing people in Egyptian society, one subtle force comes through the drinking beverage of choice: coffee or tea. This being Turkish coffee, or black tea. Even when taking a boat ride in Nubia, peo...

The Egyptian Kitchen: Breakfast / light meal: Shakshuka (eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce)

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2014/11/breakfast-light-meal-shakshuka-eggs.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Sunday, November 23, 2014. Breakfast / light meal: Shakshuka (eggs poached in spicy tomato sauce). This is probably one of the most popular recipes across North Africa and especially in Israel. In my goal to only post Egyptian recipes I consistently refused to do this one dish, until, I found out: it's also popular in Egypt. My mother made that all the time for me! But where did it come from? In Israel, it's thought to have come from either Libyan...

The Egyptian Kitchen: December 2011

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Friday, December 9, 2011. Dinner: Fasolia wa roz (beans and rice). Can you smell that? That burning, smokey air? That's fall. The season I probably despise the most, because what comes after fall? Winter. It's probably about to start now.any minute. I decided to revisit one of my favourite stews: Basila wa roz. Peas with rice). A simple and hearty stew that's easy to flavour and even easier to eat. They are native to the Americas, India and China&...

The Egyptian Kitchen: February 2013

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Sunday, February 3, 2013. Spice mix: Du'ah (Dukkah). Ah yes, already a month into the new year and I've finally sat down to do this entry. And it's one I've been wanting to do for quite some time. In fact, a few people have emailed me about Du'ah (dukkah, duqqah, dukka). The word derives from the arabic word to pound, since the spices are toasted and then pounded using a mortar and pestle. While the mix differs from person to person, at the base o...

The Egyptian Kitchen: July 2012

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Wednesday, July 18, 2012. It's nearly the end of July, and surprisingly, summer time has not yet come to the north of france. So while I was hoping to have this blog entry up and ready weeks ago, to me it still feels like the end of March, so I'm not really that much behind. In any case, I am now settled into my new home and all that, so I have been looking around to see what local ingredients would be worth using, and boom! In due time, the Dutch...

The Egyptian Kitchen: Dinner: Sherkasia/Sherkaseya (circassian walnut chicken)

http://abissadacooks.blogspot.com/2014/07/dinner-sherkasiasherkaseya-circassian.html

Recipes to help you cook typically egyptian food at home. Sunday, July 13, 2014. Dinner: Sherkasia/Sherkaseya (circassian walnut chicken). But circassian you ask? How did Circassian walnut chicken enter the repertoire of Egyptian cuisine you ask? Walnuts themselves, originate from Persia, so it's easy to see how the nut got swept into regional cuisines. I asked around my family for a proper recipe for this dish, and either I got blank stares or warnings of how difficult it would be to prepare. Meh&#4...
