 Hi! Hi. Have been "scoping" the site for a while now, but just joined. I'm pleased to be a member of Chef Talk since you've been providing lots of great cooking and equipment advice to me for several months. What a great network of "foodies". I hail from the midwest, but have lived in various parts of the world and am very familiar with Middle Eastern cooking. And, I like to cook and eat... Not a professional chef by any means, but an avid amateur. Looking forward to future discussions...

 Thanks! I'm glad to be here, especially after sseing Andrew and Karen's posts. Their books, especially Culinary Artistry, are terrific! That book has such great information on developing dishes and menu planning. It's one of my favorite "sit in the chair, sip wine and dream" books. Looking forward to learning from all of you.

 Thanks for the kind words. I love to experiment with just about anything. Love stovetop cooking, making ethnic dishes (Thai, Indian, Italian, Middle Eastern), and anything that's a bit out of the ordinary. Making homemade pasta is fun, too. Recently got a couple of nice pressure cookers (the electric one is wonderful), so have made some really terrific risotto, stews, wild rice, and even bread pudding in them.

| Thanks for all the greetings! To answer your question on Middle Eastern cooking, I've got Egyptian roots, and lived there for nearly 6 years. So, to me, "grandma food" is all about stuffed grape leaves, stuffed peppers and tomatoes, baklava, t'maia (filafel), tahini, hummus, lamb, and lots of Egyptian-only specialties. We cook the dishes often, and they're a big hit (especially the desserts) with guests.
