Welcome to Litsy!

Adeena Sussmans gorgeous new cookbook ,recipes from her Israeli kitchen.Fresh delicious food that I can‘t wait to cook.An eye catching cookbook that I will be dipping in and out of.

I'm having social media blues. When I write a goodreads review it automatically tweets. Simple. My Twitter followers are few, but book people. On gr I see the option to share my review on Facebook, but my people there are not interested. I'm experimenting with Threads, but not satisfied. I like Twitter because I interact with authors/illustrators there. But I'm not happy with the current twitterverse. My review of this book is on goodreads.

I've been eating lunch from the tagged #Syria cookbook all week for #FoodandLit. As I am feeling too lazy to plate it properly, here is a picture of my many lunch containers. 😆

Itsch Salad – Bulgar Salad
Baklava (store bought)
Shorbat adas – Red Lentil Soup
Lob el kossa – Zucchini with Garlic and Mint
Foul ma‘ala – Fava Beans with Cilantro and Garlic
Zahra – Spicy Roasted Cauliflower

Amina visits Pakistan and comes home to share the truth about it. A great middle grade novel that should be on all classroom shelves including those in Florida.

I figured that hubby wouldn‘t give me any books for Christmas, since my birthday gift last month included books. @Alisnazzy to the rescue, with this. Although there are lots of recipes, I‘m just as interested in reading about Persian food and traditions.

After Amina's Voice, Amina once again uses her voice to bridge the places, people, and communities she loves, this time across continents.

Three foodie books I‘ve read & enjoyed #RelatingToWater 💦 (or with water in their titles).

Experimenting with Zarda Palau tonight for #FoodandLit (sweet rice with orange and chicken)

Made Sabih tonight and it was amazing. If you are a reader or collector of cookbooks I recommend this one. It‘s beautiful.
