The Original Lebanese Cookbook was the first authentic and comprehensive book of Lebanese cookery ever published outside of Lebanon. The cookbook is a traditional and authentic collection of 150 Lebanese recipes passed down from mother to daughter for generations, with popular favorites such as Kibbi, Tabbouleh, Hoummus and Baba Ghannouj and other delicious dishes including a generous selection of meat-free and dairy-free meals. The Original Lebanese Cookbook is more than just a cookbook. It contains a complete description of the country and Lebanese way of life, the customs and manner of eating, and sample menus.
