From the Inside Flap
The cuisine of Lebanon epitomizes the best of the Mediterranean diet, which is esteemed for its health benefits. Abounding in a wealth of heart-healthy ingredients—including fresh vegetables, grains, herbs, and spices; poultry; lamb; yogurt; and olive oil—it yields meals replete with robust, earthy flavors. In Classic Lebanese Cuisine, a leading chef presents 170 dazzling recipes that reflect the full breadth of authentic Lebanese cuisine. Many recipes include several variations, giving you the option of preparing a vegetarian dish or adding chicken, lamb, or beef.
Featuring favorites such as baba ghannouj, tabbouli, and kibbi, and a large variety of Lebanese classics ranging from entrees to hors d’oeuvres, salads, desserts, and side dishes, this book also presents Chef Kamal Al-Faqih’s signature dishes. From London broil layered with garlic yogurt and pita, to heart-healthy fire-roasted wheat with lamb, he developed these singularly sumptuous recipes over two decades as the preeminent Mediterranean caterer in the Washington, D.C., area. Feedback from clients, friends, and family allowed him to focus on each dish individually and refine the ingredients and flavors. And, more recently, he devoted two years to further perfecting these recipes—for this book.
Accompanied by full-color photographs throughout, and with step-by-step instructions, Classic Lebanese Cuisine—linked to the Web site cookingwithkamal.com, where you can find complementary information—makes Lebanese cuisine accessible to everyone who seeks to reproduce their favorite flavors and dishes, from the merely curious to more experienced cooks.

Experience and Taste,
By K. D. Snyder - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Lebanese Cuisine: 170 Fresh and Healthy Mediterranean Favorites (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.,
By Sam Nasser "lordvaderX" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Lebanese Cuisine: 170 Fresh and Healthy Mediterranean Favorites (Hardcover)
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;,
By E. Statland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Classic Lebanese Cuisine: 170 Fresh and Healthy Mediterranean Favorites (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.
