Following on from Phaidon`s classic home-cooking bibles of national cuisines, which started with The Silver Spoon in 2005 & has continued with 1080 Recipes, Vefa`s Kitchen, I Know How to Cook & India Cookbook, The Lebanese Kitchen is the definitive guide to traditional cuisine from Lebanon. The Lebanese Kitchen brings together more than 500 recipes, ranging from light, tempting mezes to rich & hearty main courses. On the shores of the eastern Mediterranean & a gateway to the Middle East, the food of Lebanon blends textures, colours, scents & flavours from both, & has long been regarded as one of the most refined cuisines in the Middle East. The diversity of Lebanese food reflects the variety inherent in the country`s landscape & climate, from the fertile Beqaa Valley to the snow-covered tops of the Danniyeh mountains. This means that fresh & inspiring vegetable dishes such as the classic tabbouleh (bulgur wheat & parsley salad) are as numerous as the meat specialities like lamb kofte, or traditional desserts such as muhallabieh (a milk & rose water pudding topped with pistachios). Many areas produce a range of home-grown fruit & vegetables such as tomatoes, apples, figs, beans, grapes & citrus fruits, & there are many traditional recipes that show the uses that resourceful home cooks have developed to make the most of seasonal produce. Lebanese food has become increasingly popular in the last few years, & is nutritious & healthy (based on vegetables, oil & pulses & a balanced use of meat), as well as aromatic & tempting. Salma Hage, a Lebanese housewife from Mazarat Tiffah (Apple Hamlet) in the mountains of the Kadisha Valley in north Lebanon, has over 50 years experience of family cooking. In The Lebanese Kitchen she presents a comprehensive list of her own recipes for family favourites along with classic dishes handed from generation to generation. A combination of old favourites & some inspiring surprises, The Lebanese Kitchen is a must for everyone with an interest in this wholesome & delicious cuisine. ...
