I have been meaning to create this blog for a long time. Why? I have been roaming around Lebanon for six years now and I have come to the conclusion that it is such a shame that I don't document these journeys on the net. What is a culinary journey one may ask? I shall tell you... it's taking the car early morning (after dropping the kids at the bus stop) and going with one's car on an adventure dealing mostly with FOOD, wonderful people, and amazing places. Food glorious food ... not everyone knows what they put in their mouths... not everyone knows the people and places that have to do with the last bite they just had ... So my aim in life... other than being a good wife and mother ... is to write culinary books on the matter. My first book was published in Dec. 2005 entitled Man'oushe: Inside the Street Corner Lebanese Bakery. I am currently working on a second book (which started the day after the launching of Man'oushe). I will let you in on a little secret, when one publishes a book, it is like giving birth and sometimes authors experience baby blues. My new book will also deal with Lebanese food. I really hope to finish it by next year. Who knows where this journey will take me? In a nutshell, this is who I am!
Who says we can't grow zaatar?
