Reviews
'Andree Maalouf has teamed up with Karim Haidar, a young chef in London, to revisit forgotten recipes, spiced with a modern twist. The result: a fascinating and beautifully illustrated book with appetizing recipes.' -- Le Vif/L'Express
'Lebanese Cuisine is a gorgeously and carefully presented book ... What makes this particular book special is the way it demonstrates how migration not only makes food central in the attempt to keep traditions and culture alive, but also allows for the opening up for new tastes, ingredients and recipes.' -- The Middle East in London
