I am 1/2 Lebanese and have eaten and cooked very little Mediterranean food and have a desire to change and learn all about it. My other 1/2 is Italian. I think it was the falafel wrap I had at Sahara restaurant in Benicia that turned me into a Mediterranean Foodie. I'd like to know what they do to make the Falafel at Sahara.

Hi Dede,
Do you have a recipe for Makoubeh (upside down rice dish)? Love your videos. My grandmother made all these dishes when she was alive.
