Recently I wanted to make my Armenian brother-in-law’s shish kebabs and found it fascinating that he never added olive oil. So, I began to look in my cookbooks and found a similar recipe that did use olive oil. I think his family had been meking that recipe for several generations and probably couldnt get olive oil when they came to America. Those things fascinate me. Thanks for writing about your cookbooks! I like all my cookbooks - even the ones I never use. Go figure!Marilyn Mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15768750484399210339noreply@blogger.com
