Product Description
Product Description
In "Classic Lebanese Cuisine", author Chef Kamal Al-Faqih presents 180 dazzling recipes that take full advantage of the range and depth of authentic Lebanese cuisine. Featuring favorites such as baba ghannouj, tabbouli, and kibbi, Chef Kamal also presents his signature classics like London broil layered with pita and garlic yogurt, tilapia with jalapeno pine nut sauce, and heart-healthy fire-roasted wheat with lamb. Accompanied by full-colour photographs and step-by-step instructions, Chef Kamal makes Lebanese cuisine accessible to everyone, from novices and the merely curious to cooks already familiar with Lebanese cuisine who want to reproduce their favourite flavours and dishes.
About the Author
In 1986, Chef Kamal Al-Faqih made his debut as the owner and head chef of the first exclusively Mediterranean catering company in the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area (Med Catering, Inc.). Since that time, Chef Kamal's reputation for authentic and flavorful Lebanese cuisine has grown to be unmatched. During his twenty-year tenure as chef-owner of Med Catering, Inc., his authentic Lebanese dishes and signature classics were offered at events for Queen Noor of Jordan, King Abdulla of Jordan, Crown Prince Abdulla of Saudia Arabia, Senators George Mitchell and Barbara Mikulski, and celebrities such as Placido Domingo, Angelica Huston, and Francis Ford Coppola, as well as museums, White House events, and thousands of private parties and other events in Maryland, Virginia, and Washtngton, D.C.

This book has a wide variety of Lebanese dishes. They are simple to follow. Most of the ingredients are commonly available in supermarkets. There are also nice illustrations.

Lovely cookbook, it will become one of my favourites over time as I indulge in the recipes. My only issue (and that is not the fault of the book) is that some ingredients are unavailable to me where I live and seem unavailable online, I'm sure that if I lived in a major city that it would be easier to find those ingredients.
Highly recommended.

Experience and Taste
17 Aug 2009
Format:Hardcover
As a self-professed foodie, I love being able to connect culture with food. What makes this book a stand-out for me is not only the delicious and easy to follow recipes but the way it takes me to a world that's very different from my own. A lot of cookbooks are just ingredients and directions. Chef Kamal has succeeded in providing readers with something more--a cultural experience where food is the vehicle of choice to another way of life. I've tried several different recipes and all of them are stand-outs and very user friendly. If you enjoy new tasting sensations, pick up this excellent cookbook. It's full of experience and taste!

Very nice, great success.

The problem with many Lebanese cookbooks is that there is no single "Lebanese" cuisine. There are as many ways to prepare warak al areesh (stuffed grape leaves) as there are villages in the country. But after preparing more than a few of the dishes in "Classic Lebanese Cuisine," I can honestly say that these recipes are the closest I have ever tasted to the food I grew up with. A truly wonderful book that is on a par with "The Culinary Heritage of Lebanon" by Chef Ramzi N. Choueri; not as comrehensive but just as delicious.

Classic Lebanese Cuisine;
13 Oct 2009
Format:Hardcover
I first developed a passion for Lebanese food about 20 years ago. There are several restaurants in the Washington, D.C area that offer decent Labanese dishes, but none of them compared favorably to the catered meals I enjoyed when Med Catering and Chef Kamal prepared a dinner. He left Washington, to the dismay of many of us, so certainly I had to have Chef Kamal's book and try his recipes. He provides wonderful, easy to understand directions and his luscious photos help me know that I'm at least close. I've prepared a few dishes a couple times and I have delighted dinner guests. He's to be congratulated not only for his talent as a super chef but also in having the ability to impart his techniques to a reader.
