Review: The Best Lebanese Cookbook EVER! - The Lebanese Kitchen by Salma Hage (author) and Toby Glanville (photographer) is the best Lebanese cookbook EVER! I have several on my bookshelf, but this one is like being in my dear Mother's kitchen, throughout my childhood, right at her elbow, helping to cook dinner, and then, eating her fabulous Lebanese food. The recipes are simple, uncluttered, and authentic, and are accompanied by photographs which do the food justice. I am only realizing now, with this book, that what I always thought were recipes my Mother made up OR culled from The Los Angeles Times, are, in fact, traditional Lebanese recipes (for example, pickled turnips). I have an eight year old grandnephew who loves to cook, and this book is going to be one of his presents at this holiday season. His mother, my niece and goddaughter, learned to cook Lebanese food from both her sittos (one of them, my Mother), and from her mother, and keeps the tradition alive. So this book will be well used in both of our kitchens. When I left home, decades ago, I sat with my Mother for several hours, writing out in long hand with pencil, a handful of my favorites of her recipes. I have them to this day, but this cookbook makes my Mother's legacy to me, permanent. Even tho Lebanon is small, there may still be some regional variations, so sometimes, Lebanese recipes don't ring true for me when I see them in various newspapers, but these recipes are exactly how my Mother cooked. I am overjoyed at discovering this book, thanks to Maureen Abood's lovely review. As always, food is one of the main instruments by which culture is carried through time, so this book, in addition to being a valuable culinary tool, also preserves our culture for second and third generation Lebanese-Americans and their children and grandchildren. Review: Great recipe collection for Lebanese wannabes - My husband's background is Lebanese, so this book is great for someone like me (a straight-up American country girl) who doesn't even know WHERE to begin with this type of flavor profile. As with any cookbook, you'll have to tweak the recipes according to your personal taste. My husband says that the Chicken Shwarma recipe has the right taste (even though this recipe is for the stove and not a vertical rotisserie), and the fish Tahini Breaded Fish recipe was a big hit, even with my 6-yr-old kid (who is also a straight-up country girl). Also, the book itself is beautiful and looks great on my counter...not that you can eat the book, but it does make for a nice display. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,532,444 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #469 in Middle Eastern Cooking, Food & Wine | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 199 Reviews | ## Images ![The Lebanese Kitchen - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61cQFFrmQPL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Lebanese Cookbook EVER! *by P***E on October 19, 2012* The Lebanese Kitchen by Salma Hage (author) and Toby Glanville (photographer) is the best Lebanese cookbook EVER!

This book contains "mild to wild" recipes for Lebanese cuisine - including the spice mixtures necessary to create the complex flavors. The 'deckle' edge appears to have been cut with a 'pinking shear' so the pages 'stick' together until the book has been used and the pages are fanned. This is not a drawback, merely an observation that makes this cookbook unique from the 500+ other cookbooks I own. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/8251800-the-lebanese-kitchen](https://www.desertcart.com.eg/products/8251800-the-lebanese-kitchen) --- *Product available on Desertcart Egypt* *Store origin: EG* *Last updated: 2026-11-12*
