Lebanon: The Cookbook celebrates Lebanese cuisine at its best: fresh, light and generous. Liza and Ziad Asseily reveal the richness of their culture and art de vivre by following a typical Beiruti day in 75 recipes. From breakfast, lunch and aperitifs, through to festive meals and street food enjoyed at night, this cookbook offers a full gastronomic experience. Among mouth-watering additions such as pomegranate molasses and tahini to kibbeh, mouttabal and spicy stews, you'll also find gluten-free and vegetarian variations of authentic favourites. Traditional dishes are revisited with new ingredients and refined flavours, delivering well-loved classics with a modern twist. These healthy, easy-to-cook recipes are illustrated with lavish photographs from Liza and Ziad's chic restaurants in Beirut and Paris. With recommendations and anecdotes about the history of Lebanese cuisine guiding you through Lebanon's best kept secrets, take an enchanting trip to Beirut and make memories to last forever from the comfort of your own home.
