The food of Lebanon has long been rated as one of the great cuisines of the world. Healthy, simple to prepare, full of fresh flavors and sensual aromatics, it makes great use of grains, vegetables, pulses, fruit, nuts, grilled meat, fish, olive oil, and yogurt. In this evocative new book, Nada Saleh, a trained nutritionist and talented cook, presents 200 imaginative recipes from her native Lebanon. Throughout she draws upon her many happy memories of a vibrant and sun-baked land—the family occasions when they ate in the shade of the poplar trees, enjoying mezze (traditional appetizers), meshwi (grilled meat), and locally grown fresh fruits of the season alongside delicate sweet dishes, washed down with Turkish coffee. From tempting vegetable and salad dishes like Yogurt and Spinach Salad, via delicate Cod with Tahini to enticing Upside Down Aubergines, Stuffed Meat Roast and mouthwatering Walnut, Pistachio, and Date Pastries, and Molasses with Sesame Cream and Fig Jam, this charming book is a joy to cook from and is suffused with warmth and love for a distant land that, even in adversity, beguiles and inspires.

Here is a cookbook with a difference: a mouthwatering selection of traditional recipes, as prepared in Lebanese homes, that are also ideal for today's health-conscious public. Accompanied by superlative full-colour photographs and wood engravings, the text is full of health tips and entertaining and informative anecdotes about ingredients, dishes and the culinary tradition of Lebanon. Nadeh Saleh, who is of Lebanese origin and also a Western-educated nutritionist, has cleverly adapted the recipes of her homeland for a healthy and nutritious diet. While respecting the authentic flavours of the dishes, she has, for example, reduced the amounts of saturated fats and substituted olive oil, and emphasized ingredients that are rich in mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants.
