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.

Favorite cookbook: The Complete Meze Table by Rosamond Man

Favorite recipe: Melissa Clark's Roasted Broccoli with Shrimp

Daond Pasha (Meatballs with Pine Nuts and Tomatoes) from The Complete Meze Table

Excellent. I made this into meatballs instead of burgers, and they were just bursting with flavor. The seasonings brought out the flavor of the meat really well without being overpowering. I was afraid the balls/burgers might be too hot with this amount of mustard, but they were fine for children too (if you leave off the chillies, but those are on the meat, not inside).
A keeper.

This is the page number of the Dutch translation. If you have the original, feel free to correct.

This was very tasty and not complicated to make.

I don't know why it was recommended for picknicks as they are completely unstackable and thus very difficult to get to the picknick unscathed. Something for a big garden party.

I made the filling the day before, which worked beautifully.

The amount of oil needed to fry the eggplants in made it totally unnecessary to drizzle on more oil in the end.
