Lebanon: The Cookbook celebrates Lebanese cuisine at its best: fresh, light and generous. Liza and Ziad Asseily reveal the richness of their culture and art de vivre by following a typical Beiruti day in 75 recipes. From breakfast, lunch and aperitifs, through to festive meals and street food enjoyed at night, this cookbook offers a full gastronomic experience. Among mouth-watering additions such as pomegranate molasses and tahini to kibbeh, mouttabal and spicy stews, you'll also find gluten-free and vegetarian variations of authentic favourites. Traditional dishes are revisited with new ingredients and refined flavours, delivering well-loved classics with a modern twist.

Amoul Oakes is a London-based chef, originally from Lebanon. Her restaurant in London’s Maida Vale, Amoul’s, was open from 2003-2018 and was acclaimed by critics including Jay Rayner for its soulful home-cooked dishes, which reflected Amoul’s recollections of the food made by her mother and grandmother. Her book, Amoul: Some family recipes is now available in full on ckbk. Here Amoul shares her enthusiasm for the ancient grain freekeh, and offers a bonus recipe for freekeh served with chickpeas and spinach.
