I got a most excellent package in the mail just the other day. My sister answered the door when it was delivered and when I got home asked why it smelled so delicious. Hearing this made me realize my cookbook had arrived! Needless to say I've never actually made Arab food before, but some of the recipes in this book look AMAZING! And the source of the smell? Lots of awesome spices I can use to cook with! Needless to say I'm thrilled that I received such an awesome gift for the cookbook exchange. :)
