Does anyone like Sephardic Jewish cooking? It borrows elements from the Middle East, Spain, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, North Africa, and Turkey. it tends to be very healthy (not the sufganiyot), but few people know anything about it. You do need an olive oil tap in installed in your kitchen...

I'll try anything, what's on the menu? ;D Is there a signature dish?

Does pastrami count?  I loves me some pastrami.  I like it all sorts of ways, even plain as a snack.

I love pastrami too, but you have to add rye, but its not Sephardic. Try bourekas, stuffed grape leaves, "meat cigars", stuffed peppers, shakshouka (really filling and really cheap), kofta, and fried artichokes are just a few. Fried artichokes would definitely be the signature appetizer/side dish of Sephardic cooking though.

Now we're getting somewhere!  Articokes, though, ugh. They give me the heebie jeebies. I've noticed you're turning into one of our foodies over here, I like this section too.

Hugs, Devlyn

I love everybody's cooking. We have a huge cookbook with recipes from every country where Jews have settled. I got it for Sweetie one year when she was complaining about having the same old stuff every holiday. Haven't made anything from it lately. Time to pull it off of the shelf.
April 22, 2015, the day of my first face to face pass in gender neutral clothes and no makeup. It may be months to the next one, but I'm good with that!

Being transgender is just a phase. It hardly ever starts before conception and always ends promptly at death.

They say the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train. I say, climb aboard!

I've always been a foodie, I'm just learning to chillax (a term used in honor of the friend I came out to who hates the word with all his heart and soul ;D ) I'm really also really adept at making a really nice stir-fry, courtesy of my late grandfather.
