Brent visits with Mona, an expert on the food and culture of Cairo, Egypt. She tells me all the different people who have made Cairo home and the dishes they brought with them from the Sinai Peninsula, the western desert, and Upper Egypt. We talk about pickles on falafel, dolma cooked by mom, and proving your kitchen skills to the in-laws. Plus, Basbousa, Feteer, and some delicious spicy dishes! [Ep 332]
