An Edible Mosaic Cookbook Giveaway {Closed}
Thanks for entering! The winner was #19, Karen. Congratulations Karen, I’ll be sending you an email shortly. 
I’ve got a fun cookbook giveaway for you today! Over the past few weeks I’ve been sharing some recipes from An Edible Mosaic, and now I get to offer a copy as a giveaway. I can honestly say that I love this cookbook. It’s very easy to look through, it has beautiful pictures on every page, and the recipes are so unique. The few that I tried so far have been big hits around here, and there are plenty more that I can’t wait to try. I love that Faith talks you through each recipe, so that if you’re unfamiliar with Middle Eastern cooking you can still cook the recipes successfully. Definitely a good thing if you’re like me and have absolutely no experience with some of these things!
Recipes: Chicken Shawarma Wraps, Coconut Semolina Cake, Zucchini Fritters

Hummus counts right? I love hummus!
Deniz — November 9, 2012 @ 10:21 am
My favourite middle east food ist definately the turkish cuisine, its so diverse as the sultans gathered the best recipes from all over the ottoman empire. you can still feel this richness in ingredients and spices. It often looks simple but tastes amazing, like stuffed wine leaves with rice and cacik, the turkish version of the greek tzaziki.
Erin @ Dinners, Dishes and Desserts — November 9, 2012 @ 10:24 am
I don’t know much Middle Eastern food. I really want the Schwara wraps you made, and I love hummus (which I think is Middle Eastern).

My favourite middle eastern food is stuffed vine leaves. They take time to roll and prepare and minutes to devour! Absolutely delicious.
Would love to get a copy of An edible mosaic since I’m sure it won’t be available in the local bookstores here in Dubai.

I am a falafel, hummus, and stuffed grape leaf girl! I even started making my own sauce for dipping my falafel. So yummy! Of, and I’m starting to really like the eggplant dishes. I had something recently, I don’t remember the name, that was a warm, spicy, roasted eggplant thing. it was wonderful with toasted pita.

Lilah — November 10, 2012 @ 8:41 am
I really am not that familiar with Middle Eastern food. My favorites are Indian and Mexican but i love to try new things. I do LOVE falafel though! It would be incredibly cool to look through your cookbook with my 6 year old daughter and experiment with some new and tasty recipes.

I love Middle Eastern food. We make yogurt at my house. My favorite recipe? Maybe berenj ba zereshk, which is rice with barberries. Or maybe Jewelled Rice, with us basmati rice with raisins, apricots, onions, cloves, sultanas, and almonds. On cold windy days nothing beats Ashe Reshte which is a noodle soup. My children would tell you the best is taking a date and replacing the seed with feta cheese and wrapping fresh warm pita around it.
