  • About
I gratefully extend my thanks to the many people of the Middle East who so generously contributed recipes, advice and their culinary experience, and whose enthusiasm and strong conviction of the value of their culinary tradition were the origin of this book.
I wish to thank my parents, my father, whose enjoyment of life and appreciation of Middle Eastern food inspired me to perpetuate the tradition, and my mother, who advised and guided me throughout.

I wish to thank my husband, my brothers, Ellis and Zaki Douek, and their wives for their constant sympathetic support, encouragement and valuable advice, many friends for their interest and gracious sampling of my food, and my children, who allowed me to write the book.
