Lebanese Cuisine includes the best of what Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine has to offer, complete with a glossary of Arabic terms and suggested menus, Lebanese Cuisine will be a welcome addition to every cook's library. Leila Habib Kirske's mother Madelain Farah wrote the original edition of Lebanese Cuisine as a means to memorialize the classic recipes from her mother. Now in its new edition, Leila continues the family tradition adding her own recipes and updating her mother;s and grandmother;s in this one-of-a-kind collection. Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cooking has become increasingly popular due to their unique flavors, healthfulness and to the variety of vegetarian dishes.
