I think if I delved into my past life you would find me somewhere in the Middle East browsing the markets. I find myself inexplicably drawn to their cuisine, flavours and culture. I have a special affection for bulgur, yogurt adn lamb none of which appeared on my table growing up in Southern Ontario."
