Lebanese Cuisine: More Than 250 Authentic Recipes From The Most Elegant Middle Eastern Cuisine

I like this cookbook because the recipes are authentic and easy to follow. I highly recommend it.

Easy fabulous recipes

My mother is Lebanese and I grew up eating and cooking Lebanese home made food. Now I cook for my daughter all those delights as cuisine is a great way to teach her about her roots. Helping my mother and my grandmother in the kitchen was one of the most exciting activities we ever engaged in. We connected, laughed, and complemented each other on our skills in cooking (yes Lebanese food requires a great skill and a swift artful and crafty pair of hands and set of fingers). Reading this book brought back many beautiful memories of childhood, adolescence, and womanhood. The recipes are very thorough despite one single shortcut in the sweets section (the kellaj crust--- we were told just to buy it ready as opposed to being offered a recipe). It's a great read, a great help in the kitchen and I highly recommend it. Sa7tein :)

had the recipes I was looking for and additional ones that I want to try.

This book is great. Very descriptive. I had my Leanese Grandmother look over it and she said it was extremly authentic. The variations of all-spice use and cinnamon are a regional difference. Arrived on time and would make a great gift for anyone interested in middle eastern cuisine.

This book had alot of recipes that I had been looking for. I needed the main engridents List, with my Mothers help we add some spice that the old country uses, and omitted the ones we did not need , I got What I wanted and then some.Thank You

I loved this book. It seems to have been extremely authentic and I loved it and have tried some of the recipes and loved it.

I have been living in the Middle East for the past 10 years,I am married to a Lebanese and have an extensive collection of Middle Eastern cookbooks so I think I have some understanding about the cuisine. In my opinion, this cookbook does not measure up to many of the other cookbooks in my collection. I agree with the other reviewer who posted that this cookbook has some problems with some of it's recipes. If you are looking to understand the history behind the food and some uncommon recipes purchase "Recipes and Remembrances from an Eastern Mediterranean Kitchen: A Culinary Journey through Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan," by Sonia Uvezian. This is a great resource. If you want easy straight forward recipes purchase "Classic Lebanese Cuisine" by Kamal Al-Faqih. (If you order the book directly from his site you get a free DVD showing how to prepare many popular Lebanese dishes). I also recommend "From the Land of Figs and Olives" for a general Middle Eastern and North African cookbook.

Well written recipes . Easy to follow.

mancano le foto ma è molto chiaro come desrcizione

good

A very Good Cookbook with lots of Yummy Recipes.I wish this book could have Photos.Can't wait to try !I will be Happiest if this Book(recipes) will give us the same flavourful result what we hope for.

This is a good basic introduction to Lebanese cooking. I don't understand some of the adverse comments. All the recipes I have tried have worked well. I would agree that it is not the definitive book on the subject but it does not deserve to be condemned so harshly. The main problem that could arise is the sourcing of ingredients (I live in the country, far from any Middle Eastern delis) but I have been able to source everything I have needed on the Internet.It has excited my curiosity made me want to research Middle Eastern cookery more thoroughly. What more could you ask of a book?
