Welcome to CookingBites.
Egypt, conjures up centuries of grandeur and intrigue, and the ancient times, cast a long shadow, since its founding by Alexander the Great in 332 B.C.
My husband and I were in Egypt, two decades ago and it has been quite memorable.
I am a grand fan of Egyptian cuisine as well .. A couple of my fave dishes are:
Babaghanuj = Aubergine or eggplant with Tahine ..
Camouniat Samak = Sea bass with fresh lemon, garlic and Egyptian Onions ..
What I do recall most was the fish and shellfish in a small fishing village called Abukir, just 18 kilometres from Alexandria ..
The name of the Restaurant was Zephyrion and its Greek name, comes from the then owner, Periclis Tsparis .. I have no idea if the open air café is still there ..
Have a Healthy, Successful and Happy New Year ahead ..
