Egyptian magic, day 5: ful! The humble fava bean can be prepared a million different ways to make ful, one of Egypt’s simple and delicious staple dishes. It can be stewed, mashed, mild, spicy, topped or plain, but it should always be served with eish baladi (Egyptian flatbread). This is Alexandrian ful, which has a nice kick to it!

Egyptian magic, day 4: mashrabiya. Mashrabiya are screens, usually made out of interlocking pieces of wood, which were traditionally put over windows for added privacy. You see both classical and modern interpretations of mashrabiya all over Egypt, and they cast the most beautiful light patterns.
