The Silver Spoon is a great book. I have some reservations about the English translation though. If you learn to disregard the cooking times and quantities for a lot of the recipes, it's still a great reference. I mean that :-) Italian cookbooks are full of such terms as 'cook until done' and 'add the right amount of' and whoever translated TSP seems to have taken a wild stab in the dark when they provided cooking times for the English version. I seem to remember that it recommends cooking green beans for up to 20 minutes and then later warns about overcooking :-) Maybe they've heard us Brits like our veg mushy :-)
Glad you like the blog. As you said there isn't that many blogs on Middle Eastern food especially Syrian cuisine which is very poorly represented on the net and in the media.
Thank you for stopping by and do come back.
Glad you like the pictures. I'm currently using a Pentax Optio 3x zoom 4x mega pixels. Its about about 4 years old so I'm learning to work with it as its not brilliant at close ups. What I've worked out so far tho is to think of the composition/background before shooting. I chuck lots of the photos I take and then crop those that are good tho you lose some resolution doing this. From a bit of research I can see there are really good cameras at about the £150 mark but one of the key things is composition. I've been reading a book called 'Digital Food Photography' by Lou Manna (he's a food phot pro) and thats helped - its on Amazon and really makes you think about the compostion stuff.
Just taking loads and looking at them helps as well.
:)
I'm going to add you to my googlereader and have a good nose about your blog. I too enjoy food rather too much sometimes - thankfully my New Year's Resolution has turned into a running bug, so the more I run the more I can eat!
