Fast and Slow Sesame White Bread Recipe | Bread Baking
For a faster loaf of bread, the short version works. On the other hand, if you want a dough that can sit around for a long time, the long one adds more flavor. Can't argue with that.

Hummus Kawarma (Lamb) with Lemon Sauce from 'Jerusalem'
Here's a tahini-rich recipe for hummus along with two variations, Musabaha (warm chickpea topping) and Kawarma (fried chopped lamb). For the most show-stopping of hummus dishes, take the extra time and prepare the Kawarma. Freshly chopped lamb neck meat is marinated in warm spices, za'atar, vinegar, mint, and parsley before it's fried in butter.

Na'ama's Fattoush from 'Jerusalem'
As Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi write in the introduction to Na'ama's Fattoush in Jerusalem: A Cookbook, there is no escaping chopped salads in Jerusalem. Some are simple amalgamations of tomato, cucumber, onion, and lemon vinaigrette, while others, like Arab fattoush, contain a cornucopia of vegetables mixed with leftover pita bread.
Fattoush(ish) salad
This is my take on a fattoush salad.
Hummus

Ful Medames (Egyptian Breakfast Fava Beans With Tahini)
Hummus is fine, but the real power legume of the Middle East is the fava bean. Ful medames is the Egyptian breakfast dish of favas stewed with tahini and seasoned with garlic, cumin, and lemon. This creamy, comforting version is much like what you'll find around the streets of Cairo.

King of Falafel & Shawarma's Falafel from 'New York a la Cart'
I eat a lot of falafel. It can come from a cart, a restaurant, or even a deli case--I don't really discriminate. But I probably should be more picky because most of the falafel out there isn't great. So much of the falafel I find is either greasy and falling apart or dense and dry. But after making King of Falafel & Shawarma's falafel recipe in Alexandra Penfold and Siobhan Wallace's new cookbook, New York a la Cart, I may stop buying my falafel pre-made (unless of course I happen to be in Astor...
