This review is from: Lebanese Cooking (Great Cuisines) (Paperback)

In the world of big, glossy, expensive cookbooks, this small (64 page) book might easily get overlooked. That'd be a huge mistake. While it may not have poignant anecdotes or rambling essays on cultural values, every single page is a treat. There are over 100 recipes crammed into this book (and that might be an underestimation), all of them illustrated. The paper is glossy and fairly easy to wipe down when you inevitably get spices or lemon juice on it (because for me, this book is always out in the kitchen).

I've probably made about half of the recipes in here so far, and they're all absolutely fantastic. I especially recommend the Bulgur Soup and the Lemon Mint Chicken--it calls for grilling, but I broil it, and it's a nearly weekly indulgence. :) The recipes are easy to follow and I've yet to come across an ingredient I couldn't easily find.
