I bought this book after receiving a Le Creuset tagine for Christmas and wanting to do it justice! It's quite a small book so I wasn't sure how useful it would be at first, but unlike so many recipe books, every recipe is exciting and one you'd want to cook again. You need a certain amount of forward planning both in terms of sourcing all the ingredients and setting aside enough time to slow cook the recipes - but it is well worth it. The aroma of the different spices used in each recipe gradually fill the house as you slow cook the food - making you very ready for dinner when the time comes!

I would highly recommend this book as a good starting point, after making a few recipes you'll have enough ideas and confidence to start ... Read More:

'a glorious and magical feast for the senses' (as Claudia Roden says about this book..) & I really can't say more ~ This is a wonderful book full of inspiration, a myriad feast for the senses, drawing from the rich cultures & flavours of the Mediteranian & Middle East. Just reading through & looking at this book is an evocative experience, which has a much to do with place & culture/experience as it does with flavour & tastes.

A very personal book ~ far more than just a collection of recipes, which conjures up the whole experience of places, tastes, sounds, sights, textures & smells. And reproducing the tastes contained within it's recipes transports you to these places.

A real treasure!

A Lovely, witty and entertaining read full of gorgeous recipes and fascinating facts. The insights into the Persian way of life were as interesting as the foodie facts and could make a book of their own. I am looking forward to stocking my cupboards with some exotic ingredients and trying some (most!) of the recipes. A truly delightful book and highly recommended.

A beautiful book as much at home on the coffee table as it is in the kitchen. I love the foods of this region, fresh vegetables, meats and daily bought bread with spices and citrus' in abundance.

The pictures of everyday life in a place unravaged by tourism, still wary of it's proximity to places of upheaval. You could almost feel safe going there it seems. A place where East starts to meet West culturally and palataciously :) The stunning scenery, warm people and delicious food beckon the unwary adventurer.

I first wrote a review of this book in 2002 ........... I am still using this book which I really think serves as a testament to it! There are far too many recipes to describe here and now it seems to be limited I would not give this book up even under duress! Fantastic recipe book worth the money and if you are into food from the middle east and regions surrounding, then this is the one for you!

Books : Lebanese Cuisine: More Than 200 Simple, Delicious, Authentic Recipes
I bought this item for a present for my partner who had just returned from working in Dubai where Lebanese food is very popular. The book missed out some basic Lebanese dishes, but the most disappointing thing was that we could not understand the weights for the ingredients. They were all written in cups and spoons, with no mention of grams or even ounces. There was not even a conversion chart so it was most unhelpful. Unfortunately this gift has found its way to the back of a cupboard after never being used!!!!
