Book Description

April 1992
Lebanon's cuisine draws from a culinary history truly unlike any other in the world. This healthy and wholesome diet is a reflection of Lebanon's unique interaction with Babylonians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Greeks, Romans, Persians, Byzantines, Turks, and more recently, Europeans.

This tantalizing collection of vegetarian recipes-passed down from mother to daughter, generation after generation-has been carefully collected from the rural villages of Lebanon, patiently tested and adapted to Western kitchens.

Accompanied by colorful photographs, these tempting and delicious dishes are straightforward and easy to prepare. They offer exotic alternatives to those wishing to rely more on plant protein and less on meat protein.

This review is from: Food for the Vegetarian: Traditional Lebanese Recipes (Paperback)
This is one of our favorite cookbooks. My wife and I use it for all types of occasions and are constantly inspired by the book's use of ingredients. We highly recommend this book to those looking to learn more about traditional Lebanese food, as well as those looking for great tasting Middle Eastern inspired vegetarian food.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of Middle East cooking, March 27, 2001
This review is from: Food for the Vegetarian: Traditional Lebanese Recipes (Paperback)
Lebanese cooking is the queen of Middle-eastern cuisine. (If you are lucky enough to live in the Northeastern US where Lebanese restaurants are to be found, you can experience this yourself.)

The Lebanese are particularly skilled with vegetarian foods like beans and salads. You can make hummus (chickpea and sesame puree dip) yourself instead of paying high prices for average preparations in the grocery store. Also, the tabbouleh recipe here is wonderful. This is a salad of soaked bulgur wheat (a bit like a pasta or rice, made of cooked, dehydrated cracked wheat berries) and tomatoes, parsley and lemon. It's refreshing and great for summer and to take to covered dish parties.

You don't need meat to make good Lebanese food, as this book amply demonstrates. This is now one of our kitchen standards, and it really adds color and life to the vegetarian table.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best cookbooks, July 5, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Food for the Vegetarian: Traditional Lebanese Recipes (Paperback)
I don't own many cookbooks, though I must have read hundreds. Most don't seem to be that authentic; they put in ingredients people want - usually lots of cheese. This book is one of the most authentic ever written, and it's probably the finest Lebanese cookbook. The recipes are simple, and the photos are pretty minimalist, but the food is fantastic. Buy this book!
