An easy and very authentic cookbook by Abla's restaurant owners in Melbourne. I even gave it as a gift to my Lebanese mother-in-law who loved it. Recipes are easy enough that you can easily create a delicious party menu or home cooked meal for your family.

The recipes in this book are sensational.

I'm lucky enough to have eaten at Abla's restaurant, here in Melbourne, so getting this book was a natural progression from that wonderful experience, & Abla herself is quite a character, & everytime I cook one of her recipes, I feel like she's in my kitchen.

This book really is worth buying, even If you only ever make the chicken & rice dish on pg42. I don't usually like chicken, but this is one of Abla's signature dishes, & well worth the time & effort. My other favourites include the meat & tomato pies on pg59, & of course her famous Kibbe (pg 49-52), of whihc there are 5 variations...all of them yummy!

If you want to host a Lebanese dinner party, but not sure what to cook, then the "Suggested Menus" section at the back of the book is a great idea.

Of all my cookbooks, (& I have quite a collection), this is undoubtedly my favourite!

This has got to be one of the best cook books i have ever used. Its pretty hard to find a good lebanese cook book as it is.
This cook book has easy to read recipes. They are understandable even for the novice.
All the required ingredients are quite easy to find, mostly at your local grocery store.

A great cook book!
