Passover 2006 - II

I'm lucky today, I have a guest from Israel, here in my Blog,here comes "BIGJACK"[tsahi] with one of his great recipes - Mafrum ,This recipe is well known in the cuisine of the Libyan Jews , He told us It's his mom recipe, and she gave him many of her good cooking secrets..!

I know there are many very good North African Recipes , but I didn't try any of them for years..Months ago, visiting Tapuz Food Forum [=Hebrew] ,I've found myself wondering, how this guy,who writes there, knows how to cook, so many tasty foods,Yummy ! And yes ,his cakes are great too.

Tsahis is a generous person,he wrote me yesterday, he has more and more interesting recipes..so I'm waiting for him.. This Mafrum was made in his kitchen 2 years ago or so, can you smell something good?. :-)
