I would like to cook my husband something yummy from his country?

My mom does all the cooking so I don't know. But here's a website that I came across and it has most of the food that my mother makes, it should be helpful

For dessert this one is very popural, it's called Knafeh

:D and you gotta make the Tabouleh salad! No Arab can resist it!

I am unsure if they eat this in Syria, but a traditional "pizza-like" recipe from Palestine is "emsakhan". Its a traditional recipe in Palestinian villages especially and its one of my favorites. Enjoy.

Emsakhan

Ingredients (for two):

6 large onions

2 "taboun bread"* ***

250 ml of Frying oil

1 chicken

salt, pepper, summak, allspice

Clean the chicken and cut it into 4 - 6 pieces. Cut one onion in small pieces. Fry it in one table spoon oil until golden. Add the chicken and turn it over in the pot adding salt, pepper, and allspice to taste**. Cover with water and cook until tender. Cut four onions into small-medium size pieces. Deep-fry the onions until golden. After the chicken is done, remove the pieces from the water and place in a grilling pan, adding one onion cut into small pieces with salt, pepper, and "summak". Grill in the oven.

To prepare the bread, spread the fried onions (and their oil) evenly onto the taboun bread. Place the chicken over the bread. Sprinkle with summak. Fried pine seeds are optional garnish. Serve hot with sour yoghurt and salad.

***Taboun bread is the traditional Palestinian bread baked over hot stones. It can be bought at some bakeries and major supermarkets. An adequate replacement is the "Shrak" bread, which is another traditional bread that is extremely thin and baked over a round hot plate.

To give an interesting taste to the chicken, add cardamom and bay leaves to the water.
