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. Recipes in Lebanese Cuisine are divided into different kinds of dishes (breads, soups, fish, entrees, kibbi, mihshi, rice dishes, vegetarian dishes, yogurt dishes, sauces, desserts). Plus everyone’s favorite: homemade hummus!”What a gift Leila Habib-Kierske is giving to the countless fans of her mother’s famous cookbook! For 50+ years, most every next-generation Lebanese cook has enjoyed the simple, broad-ranging Lebanese home cooking recipes of Madelain Farah. The new edition celebrates with fresh photography and helpful tweaks to the original, while maintaining its approachability. I consider this book and its new edition ‘must-haves’ in my own desire to keep our very special—and delicious!—Lebanese culinary traditions alive.”
