Kavin is a vegetarian and, of course, I wanted to make a menu that would be appealing to him.  I wanted to integrate the dinner with my <a href=\"\/food\/int\/\">international cooking<\/a> project but, alas, there are not many cuisines that are vegetarian friendly.  I consulted my friend Regina, a semi-vegetarian herself, and she suggested Indian, Ethiopian or Mediterranean food.  Indeed, she said I could make a vegetable couscous.  And that&#8217;s when lightening struck &#8211; couscous, North Africa, <i>Berbers<\/i>.  As I am working (still) on the &#8220;b&#8217;s&#8221; this seemed providencial.

After some time searching for recipes online I found enough to make a whole menu.<br \/>\nThe food was all delicious, Aamani and Kavin were very impressed and I have a couple of new recipes to incorporate into my repertoire.<br \/>\nYou can find my Berber menu at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/int\/berber\/\">http:\/\/www.marga.org\/food\/int\/berber\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday night we had our friends Aamani and Kavin over for dinner.
