Lentils and Bulghur/Simple Syrian Salad

I got this from Madhur Jaffrey’s “World Vegetarian” and fixed it up to our family’s taste.  There’s a store in Montclair, NJ, called “Spice It Up” (973-744-3344) that has a Berber Spice that we adore more than any of the Berber Spice recipes I’ve found online.  They’re very nice about shipping, and if you call [...]

Korean Cucumber Salad

I can’t believe I forgot to add this one.  It’s one of our favorites, usually served along with either the Tofu Indonesian Style or our dinner of cooked fish, laver, and kim chee, but it’s wonderful all by itself, too.                        * Exported from MasterCook *                   Korean Cucumber Salad (Oh ee mu chim) Recipe [...]
