Hi.. I am Hicham, an Egyptian architect living in Alexandria.

Grape is a great fruit, can be eaten fresh or used for making jam, juice, jelly, raisins, wine, vinegar, grape seed extract and grape seed oil.

Now, Forget all that.. Egyptians use grape leaves (yes leaves), stuffed it with rice, sometimes meat, and spices of course, and then cooked by boiling.

Perfectly rolled stuffed grape leaves is served as an appetizer in restaurants, but it is a main dish at homes.
