HELLO & WELCOME TO THE NA*ME FORUM

Ahlan Wa Sahlan

Seeing as though we don't seem to have an official 'Meet & Greet' thread, I thought we should probably start one... better late than never hey

So whether you are a regular in the forum, a new comer, or just passing through....come on in & say Hi!

Assalaamu alaikum and Hello to everyone!
I'm new to Recipezaar (well, newly registered but been browsing recipes for a while). I look forward to getting to know everyone and sampling some recipes. I'm recently married to a NA man and am always looking for new dishes to remind him of home

Keefek! (I don't know if I spelled that right) but I'm an American of Lebanese descent. I love cooking and especially love mideastern cooking. I was taught by my Gramma (Sithu) growing up and wrote down most of her recipes. If anyone needs anything...I'm happy to share.

I'm a newbie and glad to have found this site!

Welcome Chef! it's excellent to have you aboard. Please 'publish' your families recipes when you can - they sound delicious (just read your post re: macroom bil thoom). I'm sure all of us here in NA*ME will go crazy for them....

Happy cooking!

Hi,

I'm Laurie and love coming to this site. I'm a nut for Middle Eastern food. Also, I'm learning a little Arabic, so I love reading all the recipes and replies. My favorites - Lebanese Lentil soup and fattoush - yep, my addictions. I LOVE the pickled turnips.

Masalame (well, I can say it - haven't learned how to write it though LOL).

I'm Maria...Mexican American, raised in Arizona, currently living in the Pacific Northwest. I converted to Islam some time back so that's SORT OF how I came to love ME food.

In our house we eat a 1/3 Mexican, 1/3 Arabic and 1/3 'American' mix of foods, I'm trying to get away from meat which is weird b/c I just started using mostly halal/zabiha meat about two years ago.

Fave dishes...Maklooba, which I make a pretty decent version of, Mansef..which I haven't had in forever but am afraid to try on my own, fatayer (meat or spinach), chiles rellenos, REAL flour tortillas, green corn tamales, anything I can make easily in my hurry hurry life!

Now I'm hungry...

Salaam!

Hi everyone, this place is wonderful to find recipes for whatever you might have bought at the store including products that you do not know much about. I appreciate it that I do not have to drag my large collection of cookbooks to Arizona from Wisconsin.
