Anahita,
Perhaps you could make it a "Mediterranean Tour" which should be a workable
compromise: Spain/al-Andalus, Italy, Byzantium, the Levant and Egypt, back
to the Maghrib...we've done something very similar to this before (caravan
to the East) and it worked very well.

If Mediterranean food is your thing, it's probably a good investment; if
it's not, you might be a little disappointed, but that's just a personal
opinion. I paid almost a hundred Australian for an imported copy this week,
and felt gipped, although I'm sure I will get a lot of use out of it for
years to come. I can post or send photocopies of recipes if you'd like,
please feel free to contact me privately.
