  6. Hi: I enjoyed looking through your blog. I love that you supply recipes for sauces and spice mixtures. I have a question about the zataar recipe. I think that I can gather or harvest from my yard almost all the ingredients except for the sesame seeds in this recipe. My question is–Is the sumac you mention the same as the sumac that grows wild North America? Here is a link to another WordPress blog entry about our sumac: http://bellavistafarm.wordpress.com/2013/07/31/sumac-berries-are-good-for-you/ . Thanks, begonia
