  1. Dear Ms. Kelley –

    I just discovered the Silk Road Gourmet Blog based on a cite in article from Atlas Obscura.

    I have ordered volume one in the Silk Road Gourmet series. The book description mentions three volumes in total. Have volumes two and three been published? If not, any plans to do so in the near future?

    I am going to work through variations on Cevizli/Mersu as you discuss in your 10 June 2020 blog. I have been making one variant by cutting a date half open, depitting it, inserting half of a dried apricot, closing tightly and rolling in sugar as a dessert or finger food.

    Sincerely,
    Stephen D. Poe

    • Hi Dr. Poe:

      Books 2 and 3 are a works in progress. I am essential worker and cannot possibly complete them now. Just trying to get the blog moving again, after so many stops and starts.

      I think you will be best served by inserting walnuts or some other nuts into the dates. the fruits are interchangeable, and the nuts are interchangeable. Other ingredients like fat or cheese (kaymak or yogurt cheese.) are also possible as stuffings.

      Good luck!

      Laura
