Sugar cookies may be foremost on your mind, but Chef Jason of the Vegan Culinary Experience is ready to spice up the holidays with an entire e-magazine issue dedicated to Middle Eastern Cuisine.

From Falafels to Urfa Biber Cakes (yeah, I'm a little lost on that one two, but doesn't the picture at right look delicious?!), this issue is packed with unique and flavorful recipes, and of course, you can download the pdf in mere seconds for free at the Vegan Culinary Experience website.

In addition to the numerous recipes, Chef Jason's columnists offer up reviews, interviews, and fun foodie articles for veganistas and vegetarians in this issue. For this month's issue and many magazine topics to come, visit the Vegan Culinary Experience.
