Saffron rice with barberries, pistachio and mixed herbs by Chez la mereBarberries are tiny, jewel-like, dried sweet-and-sour Iranian berries that we've been using a bit obsessively recently.

Arab Flatbread (Manakeesh) for Pizza and More by myra byankaI happened upon this recipe from "The Arab Table," and by accident discovered it makes a terrific, super-thin pizza dough, but only make it if you like the type of dough that bakes to an almost cracker consistency.
