CLASSIC VEGETARIAN COOKING FROM THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA

By Habeeb Salloum

Habeeb Salloum has been a regular contributor to Vegetarian Journal for many years. He recently wrote a cookbook called Classic Vegetarian Cooking from the Middle East and North Africa.

This cookbook includes many vegan recipes. Some of the vegetarian recipes can be prepared vegan by substituting vegan cheese, margarine, or soy yogurt for the dairy-based items. (Note: some recipes do contain eggs.)

Enjoy baking your own Arabic Pita Bread or preparing dishes such as Moroccan Eggplant and Summer Squash Soup, Spinach and Coriander Salad, Bulgur and Potato Pie, and Grape Leaves Stuffed with Lentils.
