Summary:
When Jennifer Felicia Abadi was a child, her mother often pulled down
a well-worn homemade black recipe binder from her kitchen shelf and
created memorable Syrian-Jewish meals. As an adult, Abadi embarked on
a labor of love with her grandmother to record all of her family s
rich, mouthwatering Syrian dishes. In A Fistful of Lentils, Abadi
shares with you more than 125 Syrian-Jewish recipes, as well as an
intimate look at Syrian-Jewish culture through warm family anecdotes
and little-known stories. Recipes include Meh'shi Sfeehah b'Dja'jeh

Noodles with Lentils and Sesame Butter, Kibbeh m'Kamuneh b'Bandoorah
