A couple of years ago I visited a local mosque. We were served a delicious meal and I have been looking for authentic recipes. This book has many of the items we had for lunch that day. The book is organized into the following chapters.
Chapter 1: The Lebanese Larder
Breads, Grains, Pasta and Rice
Pastes, Pastries, Seasonings, Spice Mixes, and Sweeteners
Chapter 2: Basics in the Lebanese Kitchen
Chapter 3: Breads, Breakfast, and Brunch
Chapter 4: Sandwiches and Soups
Chapter 5: Mezzes: Dips, Finger Foods, Salads, and Sides
Chapter 6: Main Courses
Meals in a Jiffy
Stews and Stuffed Veggies
Rice, Grains, Pasta, and Legumes
Kibbeh
Seafood Dishes
Chapter7: Desserts
It is hard to say which is my favorite chapter. I love falafel, the meat pies and baklava. I am making the lamb chops with sweet potatoes this weekend. I cannot wait to try the red velvet pudding. If you are interested in regional cooking, you should consider this book.
