The Lebanese Kitchen

Abla Amad believes that the true joy of cooking comes from the partaking of good food with friends and family. It was with the simple aim of bringing food and people together that Abla opened her restaurant, Abla's, in Melbourne over twenty years ago. Diners return time and time again to experience her traditional homemade Lebanese dishes. Now Abla shares her recipes in this inspiring book, which features the real food of Lebanon - culinary treasures that are centuries old, preserved and adapted for contemporary cooks. Here is the wide variety of small dishes that comprise a mezzatable, including kibbee, stuffed vine leaves, tabbouleh, felafel and baba ghannooj with its essential smoky flavour. Abla welcomes you to her table to taste, to eat, to enjoy.
