Lebanese Cuisine cover

Passionate and renowned chefs Andree Malouf and Karim Haidar continue the Lebanese tradition of exquisite culinary invention in this collection of soups, salads, meats and deserts. Over a hundred inventive recipes are included in this beautifully illustrated book: lentil soup with tomatoes, calamari and coriander salad, five-spice lamb and rice, fried halloumi cheese with quince jam, pumpkin kibbeh, pears in arak, and rose ice cream, to name but a few. This is authentic and exciting Mediterranean food, using fresh and healthy ingredients, perfect for everyday eating and entertaining alike. It is presented with a preface by Amim Maalouf.

'Andrée Maalouf has teamed up with Karim Haïdar, a young chef in London, to revisit forgotten recipes, spiced with a modern twist. The result: a fascinating and beautifully illustrated book with appetizing recipes.' -- Le Vif/L'Express
'Lebanese Cuisine is a gorgeously and carefully presented book ... What makes this particular book special is the way it demonstrates how migration not only makes food central in the attempt to keep traditions and culture alive, but also allows for the opening up for new tastes, ingredients and recipes.' -- The Middle East in London
