The song, "Sweet Dreams" by the Eurythmics had the line " I've traveled the world and the Seven Seas"..which is what this menu should have been called, as it contains dishes from USA, Italy, Kuwait, UK, Morocco, & Mexico!!
All the recipes are adapted to being Vegetarian or Vegan, yet full of rich Earthiness and deep bodied flavors.
We are having another mini-heatwave in Los Angeles, and today the Mojave Winds are blowing in, taking the temperature in my back garden up to mid 80'sF.
