Julie Taboulie's Lebanese Kitchen: Authentic Recipes for Fresh and Flavorful Mediterranean Home Cooking

I loved the recipes although, being brought up w a Lebanese cook/ mother I needed to absolutely adjust some recipes,, good for a beginner,,

I watched her PBS show whenever I could catch it, I love this cuisine. When our kitchen reno is finished enough to use, I will try every recipe. Great sale price also.

This is an absolutely beautiful and oh so easy to use book! Julie explains everything so creating your favorite recipes at home (without losing any of the authentic flavors you love!) is explained and broken into easy to follow steps. I love that before each recipe is a little blurb with interesting facts or just a sweet story about the dish. The “pantry” section is super helpful. And the sweets and drinks section! swoon! This book has been used and loved since the day I received it as a gift, and has found a place on my “top shelf” of cookbooks. (The rest of you that always need one more cookbook know exactly what I’m talking about :) This book is great not only for beginners just trying to prepare a dish from a new cuisine, but is also for those that have enjoyed turning their kitchen into an international cooking experience. Enjoy!

I love this book and the food is fresh and easy to follow for most of it. Some ingredients you need to get at a specialty store. But so good. Taboulie rocks.

A truly beautiful book that promises everything I'll ever need to recreate the Lebanese delicacies I've enjoyed in restaurants, however the font is so tiny that a lighted magnifier is required for reading, ergo minus one star.

I Love Julie's PBS show, and I love how she presents her recipes. I am delighted to find this book is as sunny, bright, and happy as Julie presents on her show. The photos are gorgeous, the recipes are a delightful read with some of Julie's personal stories woven in. I can't wait to start making more Lebanese dishes using Julie's cheerful flair!

The content not only includes authentic recipes, but excellent instructions and pictures.The book is printed on highest quality gloss paper and the binding is reinforced with thread (don't see that much anymore). This book is worth every penny, I am truly delighted and cannot wait to get to cooking!!!

Easy to follow

An excellent book. Recipes were very well written, clear, and easy to follow. When describing techniques unfamiliar to Western cook, Julie took the time to describe these techniques in detail. She also described what you should see or feel to determine when a particular cooking step was complete. I also enjoyed the little stories about Lebanon that were peppered throughout the recipe book. It gave one a strong feeling for her love of the country, its traditions and its cooking and her joy in sharing this with others. This is a book designed to lead us into the realm of middle eastern cooking and to give us the skills to share these flavours with others.

Not good

Etant libanaise, je valide ce livre. Il y a trop de recettes différentes qui représentent bien la bonne cuisine libanaise. Je recommande.

This cookbook is well detailed and has great recipes, it's my go to book for all the Lebanese recipes that I truly enjoy!

Easy to follow directives, great receipts for authentic Lebanese food
