My friend and I want to host a period Middle East Feast but we have not been able to find a lot of info on line. Do people have recommendations?

Here's a start (with a few recipes at the bottom of the page): http://www.inmamaskitchen.com/FOOD_IS_ART/mideast/origins_mid_east_cooking.html

Here's another (sans recipes), and there's a mention of a book at the bottom of the article:

Do you know Shaun Longstreet? If so, you can ask him. He's got loads of information in this area. He makes this awesome mango-rose dish....
