"From The New Book of Middle Eastern Food, posted for ZWT III for North Africa and the Middle East. The original recipe does not call for any sweetener, but I felt it needed just a touch of brown sugar and a hint of heat."

Ingredients: cinnamon, pepper, ginger...

"From the blog “Sprouts in the Hood” and influenced by Najmieh Batmanglij's recipes, this salad is unusual, delicious and works as a main dish for 2 or as a salad course for 4. I roasted my sweet potato and used spring onions in place of the garlic stems. I also skipped the red pepper flakes and saffron, though I'm sure each would..."

"The nutty goodness of slowly browned onions, spices and sweet potato are offset by a burst of fresh cilantro in this chickpea and rice stew. Serve this hearty dish with whole-wheat pita and a salad of sliced cucumbers tossed with yogurt and a pinch of salt. Dietary Exchanges: 3 1/2 starch, 1 1/2 very lean meat (3 1/2 Carbohydrate Servings). From EatingWell..."

"This recipe is from the wonderful cookbook, "A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking", by Marcy Goldman. This pareve Pesach cake tastes like a rich but light chocolate cheesecake. It's wonderful with or without the glaze. If you don't mind a dairy cake, it's also excellent with a regular ganache (with cream, etc...). Kids will..."
