Maggie here. This month I’m in a little village outside of Tangiers, holed up doing transcriptions and translations of all our interviews from Gaza. It is thrilling to go back over all this material a couple of months later. So rich! Laila’s in Maryland, promoting her new book and hunting down a publisher for The Gaza Kitchen. (Any ideas? Suggestions welcome! ). It is an interesting adventure to organize, research and write a book together long-distance. Hooray for skype and dropbox…
Our respective friends and families are enjoying the fruits of our kitchen tests: Um Sultan’s kofte, Um Hamadi’s maqlouba. Soon we’ll get around to sharing some of these on this blog, which has been inactive for way too long. This post is just to break the ice, get us into the swing of blogging.
