About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Very simple indeed, and very tasty.

Served this with rice and a simple cucumber salad. It was enough for two adults and two children.

My shallots took more like 20 minutes to cook, maybe they were too big.

Fresh and fragrant. This tabbouleh is a proper salad, not a bowl of bulgur with some flecks of parsley. I also likes the spices used, they give it a slightly exotic feel.

I used cherry tomatoes, Lebanese spice mixture, a shallot instead of the scallions, and I left out the bulgur altogether. I also slightly increased the mint.
