This is a collection of my favorite recipes.  Some of them are American favorites, and some are from far away lands.

• Bessaboussa: This is a recipe I compiled from various recipes collected from the internet.  I've had many compliments on it and think it will be a wonderful addition to your collection.  I first tasted this delicious cake in the late 80's.  A friend from the UAE had made it for me and though I had taken it with me in the car to the MEPS processing station on my enlistment day, I regret I never had a chance to have more than one piece as I forgot it in the car when my mother dropped me off.
• Konafa:  These are a few recipes for three varieties of Konafa.  I can vouch for the first one, which I've seen most commonly.  And the second one made with heavy cream is delicious.  My next task is to try the third one made with Mozarella.  They are all very good and easy to make.  Note:  I use kitchen shears to cut the Kataifa (Konafa) into a bowl in 1-3 inch pieces.  I then mix the boiling butter with the konafa before putting the first half in the bottom of the pan.  Also, no margarine, no salted butter; only unsalted butter in these recipes.
• Biscotti:  My husband loves these.  I have not had any luck finding anise oil, so I included the modification to this recipe which I use instead.  If you make the recipe plain (no nuts or seeds), they are also good teething biscuits for children.
• Zucchini Bread:  This is a recipe I got from a friend.  I made some minor mods, but it is by far the best zucchini bread recipe I've found and very easy as well.
