Experience and Taste,
As a self-professed foodie, I love being able to connect culture with food. What makes this book a stand-out for me is not only the delicious and easy to follow recipes but the way it takes me to a world that’s very different from my own. A lot of cookbooks are just ingredients and directions. Chef Kamal has succeeded in providing readers with something more–a cultural experience where food is the vehicle of choice to another way of life. I’ve tried several different recipes and all of them are stand-outs and very user friendly. If you enjoy new tasting sensations, pick up this excellent cookbook. It’s full of experience and taste!

Very nice, great success.,
The problem with many Lebanese cookbooks is that there is no single “Lebanese” cuisine. There are as many ways to prepare warak al areesh (stuffed grape leaves) as there are villages in the country. But after preparing more than a few of the dishes in “Classic Lebanese Cuisine,” I can honestly say that these recipes are the closest I have ever tasted to the food I grew up with. A truly wonderful book that is on a par with “The Culinary Heritage of Lebanon” by Chef Ramzi N. Choueri; not as comrehensive but just as delicious.

Classic Lebanese Cuisine;,
I first developed a passion for Lebanese food about 20 years ago. There are several restaurants in the Washington, D.C area that offer decent Labanese dishes, but none of them compared favorably to the catered meals I enjoyed when Med Catering and Chef Kamal prepared a dinner. He left Washington, to the dismay of many of us, so certainly I had to have Chef Kamal’s book and try his recipes. He provides wonderful, easy to understand directions and his luscious photos help me know that I’m at least close. I’ve prepared a few dishes a couple times and I have delighted dinner guests. He’s to be congratulated not only for his talent as a super chef but also in having the ability to impart his techniques to a reader.
