haha I love how you store your spices, because that’s exactly the way I do it aswell!! I so had to laugh when I saw your picture above, I always buy spices in bulk when I’m on vacation somewhere like Tunisia or Turkey… I just LOVE the markets there with all the spices they offer, I could simply spent my entire money there lol!! :)

This looks fantastic! We’re just “discovering” Middle Eastern foods in my household, and I love Garam Masala. Looking forward to trying this dish soon!

I made this today and it was scrumptious! My boyfriend had thirds! It was very easy to make, well within budget and made the house smell yummy. I can’t wait to try your other recipes.

@Mari:

Completely forgot to add that. I’ll often add a good handful of yellow raisins as well. The big ones.

I shred the carrots and zucchini, and I put in a handful of raisins in the hot broth to soak before putting them in with the vegetables and I chop up a few mint leaves with the parsley.

@Joy:

This cracked me up :) Sinterklaas is an ancient children’s holiday here (I think the American Santa Claus is derived from this one), but we don’t have the zwarte piet cakes or anything. Cakes, and especially these type of cakes, are really not a part of the celebration. They also forgot to mention they’re cheap and poorly executed supermarket cakes.

Here’s a little more about it. http://www.thehollandring.com/sinterklaas.shtml

what’s your take on it? sorry you’re the only dutch person I “know” so by default you’re the one I ask.

@Sonya:

When I need something special, that’s where I go first. They have everything there, from cream of tartar, to Crisco, Badia, Indonesian and Suriname spices. Everything.
