About Egyptian Recipes
The variety of Egyptian recipes is endless. They go back a very
long way. As a result of subsequent colonization, foreign influence
is somewhat present, specially from the Turkish cuisine (it is
understandable after more than 300 years of Turkish presence in
Egypt). The "Pashas" living in Cairo mainly employed the natives as
help and cooks. Their kitchen doors opened to us with their culinary
secrets and, hence, Turkish food became part of ours.
Recipes gathered here are those known to the common Egyptian, irrelevant of their origin. Their names in Arabic are the ones we all know and use. Ingredients used are very easily found in Middle East/Oriental specialty stores.
