Feeling a little mysterious?  I hope so, because this week we are heading to a place that holds some of the world’s greatest mysteries!  Egypt here we come! We may not be able to solve the mystery of the Pyramids but we certainly can help you discover the culinary world of Egypt! Egyptian cuisine holds as much history in it than its country.  Each dish is influenced by the flavours of Syria, Turkey, Greece, Lebanon, Palestine and other Mediterranean countries. Over the years, these simple and hearty dishes have been modified with fresh ingredients and spices that make Egyptian cuisine truly unique. A meal in Egypt usually consists of meat, vegetables, salad and rice, potatoes or pasta and local fruits are served for dessert.  Yogurt and cheese are also a big part of the Egyptian diet and are used in various dishes.  In fact, this recipe for Egyptian Chicken Kebabs with Mint Potato Salad will give you a good knowledge base for what ingredients are used in everyday Egyptian cuisine.  Enjoy!
