Egyptian magic, day 6: Fayoum pottery. A distinctive style of ceramic art that hails from an oasis about 2 hours outside Cairo, Fayoum pottery is known for its simple, natural lines and soft blues, greens, and reds. I have amassed quite a collection of these babies!

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!
