About this ebook

There is no spectacle on earth more beautiful and appealing than that of a woman in the act of cooking for those she loves.

Lou lives and breathes Lebanese cooking! Her home is permeated with the fragrances of the culturally refined Lebanese dishes she prepares from her heritage. What a great neighbor Lou made! Her cookbook will be treasured by all cooks, and make elegant family gifts. A. S. R. Indiana

This cookbook would have saved me hundreds of dollars in phone calls to aunts for advice on cooking Lebanese Food. A must have for all those who love the healthy food of the Middle East. Donna A. Shalala, Office of the President, Miami University

Knowing Lou for 30 years, I have tasted many of her recipes for Lebanese food. Her tabouli, stuffed grape leaves, and other recipes are delicious and better than most Lebanese restaurants. This is a winner. Dr. Elaine Wangberg-Menchaca, Graduate Dean and V.P. Research (ret.), California State University

Over the years I have tasted Louises Lebanese cooking and I am delighted to say her food and recipes are the best. Maybe it is due to all the love she puts into her creations.

        As a first generation American born of Lebanese Heritage, I have been privileged by the author of this book to introduce to you throughout these pages the artistic and palatable foods of our Lebanese heritage.

        At the turn of the century (actually in the 1890’s) immigration from Lebanon to America began with these immigrants bringing with them old world recipes, not in the form of cookbooks, but by the teachings from mother to daughter, and cooking in the Ladies Society in churches, generation after generation.

        Lebanese cookery is more than just a gourmet’s delight in countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, or other countries in the Middle East… it is legend, a feast or a festival. Even before biblical days when one went to visit a friend of Lebanese Heritage immediately, they were greeted with a "Sweets
