Using only fresh produce and a balanced mix of fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, herbs, fish, poultry and occasionally meat, Lebanese food has the reputation of being amongst the healthiest in the world. This book includes a wide variety of dishes from Lebanese cuisine, including the well known and delicious Hummus, Baba Ghanouj and Tabouleh through to the most authentic and traditional recipes from the rural mountains and bustling cities along the Mediterranean coast. An emphasis on vegetables and pulses means that many recipes are vegetarian friendly as well as being simple, healthy and affordable.

gatherings, dinner parties and weddings. It is perfect when you have to feed a large number of people and simple enough to make for the family any day in a smaller quantity.

SERVES 6 2kg shoulder or leg of lamb 2 tbsp plain yoghurt 1 tsp ground cinnamon 1⁄2 tsp black pepper 300g long-grain rice 100ml cooking oil 100g split or flaked almonds 40g pine nuts 200g minced beef 1⁄4 tsp mixed spice 1⁄2 tsp salt

In Lebanon you can even

baking. Do not dust the date version as they are naturally sweet enough – great for people who don’t eat sugar. Filled Cakes with Dates or Nuts Date and Nut Squares Maamool Madd These date or nut slices have the same ingredients as maamool, but surprisingly they taste completely different. Maamool Madd is simple and great to offer guests with coffee or tea and it keeps for at least a week. These are also made with a walnut or pistachio filling like maamool, in which case simply follow
