Is Egyptian food the same as all Mediterranean and Arabic food?
And can anyone provide me with some relatively easy tried and tested recipes? But nothing that involves meat other than chicken please!

Thanks

well...no they r different...for example..masoob is yemeni dish...kushree is egyptian...pasta,cheese,murghi chawal r the dishes of arabs...

but now everything is merged...but still the dishes r known by their origin and eaten by all...

il give u a really nice desert to try out... very simple and extremely delicious.....

its called Umm Ali ( somethin like cornflakes in hot milk..well not really ..:P)

[FONT=Arial]1. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]2 cups phyllo pastry, toasted and broken up[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial]2. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]1 cup sugar[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]3. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]3 cups milk (preferably whole milk)[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]4. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]1 cup nuts (it can be any nuts that u like..pistas..almonds..anything u prefer) [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]5. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]½ cup desicated coconut (fine) or cocunut flakes[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]6. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]½ cup sultanas[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]7. [/FONT][FONT=Arial]2-3 drops vanilla essence[/FONT]

[/FONT][FONT=Arial][FONT=Arial] Take sheets of phyllo pastry and separate tehm. Place then onto a baking tray; it doesn't matter that they are overlapping. Place in a preheated oven at 1800C or 3500F, and toast them until they are golden brown (about 15 minutes). Once the pastry has cooled enough, break it into pieces using your hands.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Put all of the dry ingredients into a deep-sided casserole dish and mix them. Heat the milk, add the vanilla essence and pour that over the other ingredients. Mix well. Place the casserole dish into a preheated oven (1800C or 3500F) and bake for about 25-30 minutes. The dessert is done when most of the milk has been absorbed and the surface is a golden brown colour.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Mix gently and return to the oven for a further 5 minutes. Instead of returning it to the oven, if you want a deeper colour and a skin on the surface, you can put it under the grill.[/FONT]

enjoy n tell me wat think...

I don't have any of that stuff.

Can someone give me some tried and tested recipes for a relatively easy and well put together mediterranean meal? My future in-laws are expected at my house this weekend and as promised, I will be cooking. I want to surprise them with food they're accustomed to.. but I dont really have time to try out a gazillion recipes to try out until I get them right.
