This practical and comprehensive cookbook opens up a world of delightful dishes and provides numerous, inspiring ideas for healthy eating. Monique Bassila Zaarour brings three great gifts to her Lebanese Kitchen: from her Lebanese heritage, an intimate knowledge of one of the world’s great cuisines; from her training as a nutritionist, scientific understanding of the health benefits of food; and from her life as a working mother, eminently practical tips. She will whip your cupboards into shape with her advice about plastic bags and advance preparation and her arsenal of tips on how to defend your kitchen from fast-food culture. She organizes; she inspires. With packets of minced lamb and grilled pine-nuts on hand in your freezer, you too can make healthy, delicious meals such as fortifying eggplant lamb stew, lentil soup, falafel sandwiches, stuffed zucchini, rice pilaf-in just a half hour. For people with particular health concerns such as diabetes or heart disease, each recipe has comprehensive nutritional information. Summary: Absolutely Perfect Rating: 5 This is the best lebanese cookbook I’ve seen to date. You know how I know? My mom, the best lebanese cook this side of the atlantic who doesn’t believe in arabic cookbooks, took mine so I had to buy another copy for myself! Trust me, that’s the ultimate form of approval! Summary: A welcome and much appreciated addition to personal, family, and community library cookbook collections in general. Rating: 5 “The Lebanese Kitchen: Quick & Healthy Recipes” showcases recipes drawn from the Lebanese culinary heritage of food writer, nutritionist, and healthy eating expert Monique Bassila Zaarour. Enhanced with full-color photographs of each finished dish, the mouth-watering, palate-pleasing, body-healthy, instructive recipes range from Toasted Pine Nuts; Potato and Egg Salad; Moussaka; Artichoke Stew; and Stuffed Zucchini; to Shepherd’s Pie; Chicken and Cilantro; Moughrabieh (chicken with pea-shaped dough); and Baked Fish Fillet. “The Lebanese Kitchen” is particularly recommended for ethnic cookbook collections in particular, and would make a welcome and much appreciated addition to personal, family, and community library cookbook collections in general. Summary: Beautiful pictures and great recipes Rating: 4 This is a visually beautiful cookbook - one recipe per page, which I like. The recipes look great, and are very similar to what my husband’s family (Lebanese) makes. However, we were surprised to see no lamb, which is very popular in Lebanese cooking.
