I love eggplants! Until a few years ago you couldn’t hear me say this sentence because of the simple reason that I didn’t eat eggplants, at all. “Eggplants in tahini is just like eating tahini, you won’t even taste them,” my better half would say “so why eat eggplants?” I’d answer “I’ll eat tahini.”
There are people that when you tell them that there’s kubbeh soup for dinner, immediately you see a craving look in their eyes, and you can almost hear their stomach rumbling. One of these people is my better half
I love to cook almost any kind of food, mediterranean food, moroccan food, french, Iraqi, vietnamese or any other cuisine, as long as it is tasty. But one of my favorites is the one I call “what ever there is in the fridge”

After the first rain comes, and the wind swirls the fallen leaves and makes it clear that she is here to stay at least until spring, I find myself returning to one of the dishes that always warm my heart, and my belly.

Some people call meatballs in tomato sauce kids food. If so, then I am a kid. Meatballs in tomato sauce is one of the dishes I have loved for as long as I can remember. As a matter of fact, there are very few dishes that I still love as I used to. Mom taught me that when making meatballs you must always double the quantity, and even then it might not be enough.
There are dishes that I never get tired of eating. One of them is Kubbeh. Whether it is red kubbeh, yellow, sour, kubbeh nia (raw meat kubbeh) or kubbeh nablusia, also known as fried kubbeh. I love them all. With some of them, like the sour kubbeh, it took quite some time for my taste buds to get used to and to like it. But with the fried kubbeh it was love at first bite.
