Flavours of the Levant

This is a cookbook with a difference - a succulent collection of traditional recipes from the shores of the Levant, from Lebanon, Syria and Turkey. Lebanese-born Nada Saleh (author of the acclaimed "Fragrance of the Earth") has travelled extensively in those countries, gathering together authentic recipes and adapting them for today's health-conscious cook. Her rich and varied recipes - like fresh burnt wheat with mutton and nuts, potato kibbeh and pomegranate with pistachio - are accompanied by vivid descriptions of the people and places where they originate.
