Just found your blog and i’m thrilled to try such wonderful recipes. My husband and I are no vegetarians but flexitarians. We’ve seriously been cutting back on our meatconsumption. In a world that is full of ecological problems it’s not ethical to eat so much meat.
Therefore it’s great to come across wonderful and inspiring sites and blogs like yours.
One little problem for people of the old continent like me: in Belgium we use other measurements for both oventemperatures and contents, so i’m constantly busy trying to convert them 😉

Hey Susan, unfortunately I never liked caesars pizza, I preferred eating the pizza from pizza pizza express. Also by the time I was there (in early 2000s) there were many new American and European chains that had started opening. That’s where I ate most of the time! I have a falafel sandwich recipe (Kuwait style) on my blog if you are interested.
