This Lebanese girl approves!
The tabouli recipe is the same as my grandma’s so this book is legit!
The kibble recipe is authentic and immediately brought me back to sneaking bites of it and giggling with my uncles while they pretended to hide it from me and my sister.
The salatat recipes made me nostalgic and I’ve already tried two of them.
If you are a fan or Mediterranean food, particularly if authenticity and nostalgia play heavily into your preferences than I can’t recommend this enough.
Minus one star because there were no photos and well, c’mon, we need those but otherwise a rock sold 5 stars from this fata!
I received a complimentary print copy of this book from Callisto Publishing. My review is voluntary and unbiased.
Lebanese cuisine dates back thousands of years and relies on fresh, seasonal produce and fragrant spices. This cookbook specifically addresses the author’s family experiences with food and family. Like most cultures, cooking seems to be the center of family gatherings, rendering memories of traditions to be passed on for generations.
Similar to most cookbooks this is organized in the traditional fashion starting with necessary pantry items. Each chapter follows the easy pattern of breakfast, salads and separating seafood, meat and vegetable dishes. There is a chapter in the basics and menus for entertaining. The glossary of Arabic terms is also helpful for those not familiar with these authentic terms.
This is a great cookbook for those interested in creating homemade Lebanese meals. I would recommend this book for cooks who have an understanding of utilizing specialty ingredients. The recipes look simple to prepare but may include ingredients not considered a staple in the typical American pantry. This is a great way to expand your palate while adding healthy meals to your dinner table.
