TL;DR: my recipes are to be followed closely the first time with the freedom to add spices or change quantities based on your preference. as you become more comfortable with the recipe, add a dash of spice and a lot of love.
so here's the thing. Arab food, middle eastern food is not well documented. Arab culture is heavy on oral tradition: our stories and recipes are passed down orally, not written down. we are auditory learners and explainers. if you need something from me, I will most likely send you a voice message before I write an email.
that being said here's the disclaimer: all my recipes are based on the way I make things in MY house at the current time. the names of the dishes in Arabic vary as well as the method and amount. I am confident that you will love my dishes as a stepping stone into Middle Eastern cuisine but please don't be offended if your Arab guests comment on how their families make the same dish. It's customary to discuss the dishes at the dinner table and how they were made, learning new methods and tastes along the way.
if I were to make any of my recipes in my kitchen, I almost never follow the exact recipe. I will add more garlic, less onion, more meat, pine nuts, different spices, etc. it all depends on my mood that day. that's because I know the flavor I'm trying to achieve but my recipe is always a guideline to help me along the way.
food is about memories and feeling and love. the recipes I share are filled with my personal memories but feel free to add or change things that make you feel happy. cooking and baking should be fun and fill your house with love and with that I want to thank you again for choosing baytbushra for your meal today. I hope your kitchen is filled with happiness and delicious food.
