Lebanese Cuisine: The Authentic Cookbook

By Samira Kazan, creator of Alphafoodie

Hardcover | Alphafoodie Press edition

Bring the flavors of Lebanon to your table.

Lebanese cooking is close to my heart. In Lebanese Cuisine: The Authentic Cookbook, I share the food of my home country and the details that make it special, helping you bring these recipes into your own kitchen.

Make soft pita bread from scratch, fill the table with hummus and smoky moutabal, and prepare fresh, herb-filled salads such as fattoush and tabouli. Explore homemade staples including tahini and za’atar, then take your time over dishes like spinach fatayer and stuffed makdous.

Step-by-step photography helps you follow the techniques as you cook, with vegetarian and vegan adaptations offering more ways to enjoy the recipes.

Whether you are discovering Lebanese cooking for the first time or returning to familiar favorites, this is an invitation to cook, share and gather around the table. Start with one dish for dinner, or bring several together for a generous Lebanese spread.
