Following up on myself: I love Claudia Roden's book on Jewish cooking
and also the one on Middle-Eastern cooking. That could also be a
source of inspiration. I thought about them because in another post
you said you didn't know what to do with ground meat other than
hamburgers, and I can assure you that in Middle-Easter cooking you can
do loads of delicious stuff (like Lebanese kibbe, or Moroccan meat
balls).
