Veronica, Count me in as an appreciator of cumin. I hope that you try Shakshuka. And, remember, that you can always make it your own, because Shakshuka responds kindly to preferential additions!
I join with Mira in liking Cumin . It is one of my favourites.
I shall definitely try this recipe. It looks like my kind of food.
Mira, Thank you for describing this recipe as sounding "magnificent." Shakshuka offers a wonderful blend of flavors and textures.
I understand how cumin can be a favorite spice. It definitely enhances flavor profiles, so I enjoy incorporating cumin wherever and whenever possible.
This recipe sounds magnificent. And it has cumin as well, one of my favorite spices these days. Thank you so much for sharing! :)
blackspanielgallery, Thank you!
Me too, I agree. They are so applicable and such conversation topics at and away from the dinner table.
The other day, I noticed a colorful cake in the bakery section. I saw that there was a write-up of about four sentences on the box. So I went over to read it and discovered that I already knew what it was talking about, from having been in Louisiana and from having read your wizzleys: it was a king cake!
It is good to have recipe articles start again. These are useful and important. Hope to see more from the authors on Wizzley.
