As my family, friends, and so many of you know, it is one of my life’s greatest joys to share with others the flavors and family-feeling of the Lebanese table. So much so that I’ve made it my life’s mission, writing recipes and stories as a way of opening the door to the kitchen—and the kitchens of all of the Lebanese (we love you, Sittis!) who have shaped those of us blessed to be their descendants/neighbors/friends and grateful eaters.
“A terrific and important book!”
