Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Chicken wings marinated in garlic (Jawaneh d'jej bil-toom)

    • mcvl on March 03, 2014

      I marinated the wings for 36 hours, then stewed them in the marinade in a closed pot in the oven, then finished them under the broiler. This is much less error-prone than starting by broiling; wings cook unevenly. The cooked marinade makes a delicious sauce with Persian steamed rice.

Publishers Text

The revised and updated edition of this fascinating book, which was short listed for the prestigious Andre Simon Award when it was first published, remains the only fully comprehensive collection of truly authentic Lebanese recipes available in the English language. As such, "Lebanese Cuisine" is a valuable contribution to our culinary knowledge. There are over 250 classical recipes which represent an important part of the rich and turbulent history of this beautiful and bountiful country. The delicious arrays of world-famous mezze, offering light and refined servings, a delight to both eye and palate, provide a style of eating perfectly suited to today's health-conscious cook.There are wonderful vegetarian dishes as well as aromatic stews, many of which can be left to cook slowly, allowing flavours to develop and often tasting even better when eaten the following day. It is Mediterranean food of elegance and infinite variety, using in delectable combinations, simple, healthy ingredients. Vegetables, fruit, nuts, grains and cold-pressed oils, rich in vitamins are features of every dish.
