Nazook or Choreg (Armenian Sweet Pastry)

Over coffee with my Armenian/Chaldean/Lebanese/Iraqi/ “brothers” this is perfect. Rich and not overly sweet. Note: Mahleb is a spice made from ground cherry pits. Sev gundeegs are tiny black seeds that have a faint anise flavor. Both are available in grocery stores that sell Middle Eastern or Greek foods. T.J.

Afghan Dressing (Or Dip)

I was concocting dip and dressing recipes one day, and I was half watching CNN news at the same time when Osama bin Laden’s face appeared on the TV screen – hence the name. Enjoy it – it’s tasty.

Nigella’s Masala Omelett

This recipe comes courtesy of the domestic goddess herself Nigella Lawson. A beautifully flavoured flat omelet that can be eaten any time of day as a snack or light meal. We especially like it in crusty rolls/French stick as a hot sandwich, but would be great rolled up in a chapatti or just eaten flat on a plate.
