Lebanon holds a certain allure for many of us in the west. In this new book, Hussien Dekmak opens the door to his country's food and traditions with over 100 delicious, authentic recipes that you can cook at home.
With emphasis on fresh ingredients and aromatic spices, Lebanese food reflects the healthy Mediterranean diet, with an abundance of fresh vegetables, olive oil, garlic, fish, lamb, chicken and grains. Hussien shows you how to cater for all tastes and appetites by putting dishes together with ingredients that are easy to find.
The traditional 'mezze' is not unlike the Spanish 'tapas' in that it is a communal and sociable way of eating. A selection of 'mezze' makes an easy and tasty casual lunch, and is also a great option for entertaining at home because many of the dishes can be cooked in advance. A selection of dishes offers something for all tastes and appetites and can include many delicious vegetarian options. Chapters are divided into Soups, Salads, Hot and Cold Starters, Main Dishes, Barbecues, and Sweets. Discover the secrets behind preparing classic dishes such as creamy hummus and fresh and vibrant tabbouleh, as well as more exotic recipes for the more adventurous cook.
'The Lebanese Cookbook' is an indulgent and inspirational look at this delicious and unique cuisine and is illustrated with stunning food photography from Martin Brigdale that brings Lebanese food to life as never before.
