Recipes

I was thinking about ways to drive business to our website and came up with one that I think just might do it. It's not the world's most innovative idea, but a good one nonetheless 'cause if it works for that tool Rocco DiSpirito, then it's gotta work. Period. "Recipes": simple, tried and true how-to's that showcase Syrian food at its finest. I just added my first one: Samake Harra (for all you Westerners, it's pronounced seh-meh-keh JJarah). This is one of our favorite recipes from my mother-in-law. A true American, I get grossed out by things on the bone, with skin, with EYES.... oh the humanity! Ok, maybe I'm a little pickier than your average bear but this dish is truly succulent and you'll want to suck the meat right off those pointy little bones (at least I did).... plus, if you love spicy food like us, it's a sure to please. I thought a fish dish was appropriate because I think a lot of people eat fish over the Holidays (we always ate ham) and you might want to undertake this one. It's super simple and takes about 1 1/2 hours. Check the website for all the details and more pictures!

On a semi-related topic, we are beginning to pick up some catering accounts and it's so great. The word is officially out. So now the recipes will take up - yet another - new page on the ever-expanding website. The site gets bigger and bigger as the word gets out about the Genie. Some pictures I wanted to share of some catering gigs we did have been added to the site too.

Happy Holidays!
