Best Basbousa I've had — and I've tried a few

Having eaten Basbousa at several restaurants over the past year, I can say this version is the best. The subtly herbal quality is more pronounced here than anywhere else I've tried. cumin is handled with real knowledge — you can taste the difference.

This is proper a family home dinner cooking, not an adaptation for foreign tastes. Egyptian Stella beer was the obvious choice and the combination was perfect. Egyptian cuisine is one of the oldest recorded food cultures, with accounts dating to pharaonic times. Would return for this dish alone.
