Bulgur has been steamed or something? And cracked wheat is just, well, raw cracked wheat. I love that giant bowl of greens you have!

I also love chickpeas, so definitely see this salad recipe in my future. Though, of course, the far away future, as by the time I get home it'll be cold and non-persimmon season again for another year...Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11495143040747871486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-49443819035937214132010-03-18T03:38:09.325+11:002010-03-18T03:38:09.325+11:00I adore chickpeas - I'm so psyched about both ...I adore chickpeas - I'm so psyched about both of these beautiful salads!

Your post reminded me that I have a similar recipe bookmarked and must try it before persimmons go completely out of season here (well, from South Africa rather than Israel - they're hardly local at any time of year!).

I've been reading your blog for a while ...Hey! I've been reading your blog for a while and have forwarded the link to a number of friends who are working with gluten-free diets. Recently, my best friend's daughter (who is only 5) has been diagnosed with coeliac disease, and they are struggling with having to deny her all the foods she loves (healthy or no, she was one of those kids who lived on cereals and bread). As you can imagine, there have been many tears, and although little Rowen understands that it's good for her tummy, she's really struggling. I was wondering, given your experience with your niece, whether you had any good advice about helping a child handle the dietary changes? If there are any guidelines about adapting her favourite foods, too, that would be wonderful.<br /><br />My friend is based in Canada, so although she understands metric, products may be different from Australia (should that be relevant). <br /><br />I've passed her your link, and I hope that they manage to make something work. Thanks for everything you have on here; it's helpful as well as great to read!scarabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10323623959931857487noreply@blogger.com
