I was at the University of Washington bookstore the other day. The
store always seems to tempt me with sale cookbooks. I picked up a copy
of Molly O'Neill's One Big Table for 60% off the list price. This is a
compendium of recipes from folks around the US--an expanded version of
her New York Cookbook. A familiar name jumped out at me as I was
looking through it--Leila Abu-Saba, who was a regular poster here before
her death in 2009. Her recipe was Egyptian Red Lentil Soup. (Not
tabbouli????) For the newbies: Leila was known as the Tabbouli
Princess. Her father (originally from Lebanon) was the Tabbouli King,
whereas her mother (born and raised in Virginia) was the Spoonbread
Queen. Leila was a gifted and generous soul. I miss her posts on RFC,
and our occasional side conversations about food, family, and our mutual
former hometown of Greensboro.

Yes, I noticed that too. Bittersweet, yes, but I am happy that
she lives on in this way.

Thanks for the information about the book. I just bought a new one
from Amazon for $5.68 including shipping. I am looking forward to
seeing Leila's recipe and the others in the book.

It's definitely a keeper. It even has the One True Cobbler(R) recipe in
it (from Dori Sanders in SC).
