Classic Lebanese Cuisine:
In Washington, no dinner party I gave was complete without Chef Kamal Al-Faqih’s personal and professional contributions as a friend and caterer. He shared some tricks and helped me heal the deprivations of exile, as I treated my guests to nostalgic flights into the magical evenings at home I wished had never been interrupted. Kamal’s perfected and time-tested techniques steeped in the authenticity and ethos of the dishes he grew up with make that unique culinary voyage possible anywhere. . . . Let me invite you to . . . Kamal’s chest of Mediterranean treasures of the palate, lovingly and artfully presented in this gem of a book.
