Egyptian Food Made Easy Cookbook
Cookbook On Kindle
Everyone loves Egyptian foods! I personally witnessed people from all around the world are curious to explore the Middle Eastern Arab recipes, like Falafel, Samosa, Katayef, garlic dip, cookies…etc.
Here in this blog, I’m willing to share all around the world-famous Arab world recipes for my great audience, mommas, curious great chefs, and those trying to cook a meal they prefer, and those who are keen to try the delight of Arab culture.
Someone might ask me, why?
I think one of the reasons is an advice from a dear friend of mine. She suggested that I can share my cooking secret tips and tricks, then I can expand the reach and serve a broader audience to sell my Cookbook Egyptian Food Made Easy. All Rights Reserved.
And other previous publications.
English picture books for kids😃 and Arabic novels, Kindle books.
And that was a great marketing tip!
Also, I’m really keen on reaching out and sharing/educating all my beloved neighbors, friends and fans about my culture including recipes.
The idea of authentic cultural exchange crossed my mind right after I watched a cooking show on Netflix last week, and after 45 minutes of watching the cooking contest among five families from all around the world, I figured out that one of the families was prepping a recipe from the Middle East and unfortunately, they got it all wrong!
We don’t cook it that way, and the recipe doesn’t take that much time to prepare. And having three adults to prep it isn’t actually a must.
At the cooking show, they were serving “Shak-Shuka” dish, which primarily, is considered as an easy hobby lobby recipe. You crack the eggs, fry them with butter and mixed veggies and tomato sauce.
See? I told you it’s not that hard at all! 🤷🏻♀️
Anyways, let’s make our falafel.
BTW, we call the Egyptian Falafel, “Ta`meya” in Egypt.
Most of the this blog pictures are from my wonderful caterer friend Iman.

Now, let’s get to the nitty gritty, 😋😋😋😋
1- First, get your Fave Beans soaked in water for a whole day, just water from your kitchen tab. Soak it for a whole 24 hours.
2- Get rid of the water. Wash and rinse.Add one big cup of the soaked fava beans with one middle-sized chopped onion, 2 cloves of garlic “not a whole clove though”, chopped cilantro, chopped parsley, chopped the dill. (1 or1 1/2cup) of the mixed chopped veggies.
3- Mix in your blender, pack it and freeze.
4- If you want to cook it immediately, get your frying pan, add your oil, heat it, wait until your oil becomes hot.
5- Your green puree falafel should be thick and can make a shape of a circle on your table spoon. It should stick to the walls of the icecream scope. Yes, you can use an ice cream scope.Add a speck of salt and black pepper to a cracked egg. Mix the eggs with salt and pepper, before adding them to the green fava bean puree. Then add some sesame seeds on top, or sprinkle some dried coriander before deep frying.
6- Scoop a tablespoon from your mixture, fry it in the pan and wait until the side facing the oil turns golden brown, then flip it over.
If you want to ensure that your falafel isn’t underdone, insert a fork in your falafel patties, then see if it comes out clean. If the fork has some of the mixtures stuck on it, then re flip it again and wait.
Enjoy your Taameya Falafel and stay tuned for more stories and recipes!
