Treasured Middle Eastern Cookbook
As a child in Iraq, I used to always watch my mother prepare meals for my family. Now, I live here in America and it's my turn, like my mother did, to cook for my husband and my three children. As I became busier and busier, I found that there wasn't always time to perform every step in all the recipes I made. Still wanting to retain all the flavor of the recipes, I had to devise shortcuts to save time. Now I can offer them to the public in Treasured Middle Eastern Cookbook.Although this is the first book I have written in English, this is my second cookbook. My first book was written in Arabic and was therefore geared toward a Middle Eastern audience. I then caught on to the rapid growth of the popularity of Middle Eastern food and realized that different people from all sorts of heritages were developing a taste for Middle Eastern cuisine. It was this fact that inspired me to write my second book in English. I wanted everybody to experience the wonderful variety of tastes that the Middle East has to offer.
