Mona Hamadeh has lived between Lebanon and the UK for many years. She learned to cook traditional Lebanese food from her mother and grandmother in Lebanon, observing them from the age of five. Since moving to the UK as a young woman, the passion she felt for Lebanese cuisine has been expressed through the food she prepares for her own children and grandchildren. She believes that Lebanese cuisine represents one of the worlds healthiest diets, and that the Lebanese concept of sharing bread and salt as a means of demonstrating friendship and love is a wonderful code for family life. Mona ran classes in Lebanese cooking in her local area for many years.

Authors Notes
Here are a few notes on the way the recipes are presented and some tips on storage and
cooking.

In this type of cooking there are no rules (apart from baking); it often comes down to individual taste and preference. The ingredients are listed in the order in which they are used in the recipe. The preparation time given is an indication only. It will depend on the individual, as some people work faster than others; using a blunt knife can also mean it takes longer to get the job done. Cooking times may also vary slightly, give and take a few minutes, according to oven type. While writing this book I had to use different ovens, depending on where I was living at the time.

In Lebanon I use propane gas, which is hotter than the natural gas used in the UK, and sometimes I had to use an ancient electric cooker, which took forever. The number of servings given is mostly on the generous side. When I say serves four, the recipe may actually feed six. If you have guests with a good appetite, these portions save the embarrassment of not having enough. I have offered ideas for serving suggestions throughout. You will find useful basic recipes in the last chapter.

These are frequently used to accompany other dishes and include the mixed spices recipe you will need for many of the recipes. A wide range of these dishes contain pulses. Once youve cooked your pulses from scratch, youll never go back to tins again; it takes time but no effort whatsoever. However, its perfectly acceptable to use tinned pulses when you are pushed for time. Pulses such as beans and chickpeas have to be soaked overnight then boiled for roughly an hour. I tend to cook a whole batch, drain and freeze in individual portions, as all pulses freeze well.

Lentils are an exception you dont have to soak them, they take an hour or less to cook and unlike other pulses you can use the stock.
Note: Its important to remember, never to add salt to pulses until they are well cooked. Its always best to soak rice for an hour before cooking. xi

Quite a lot of the recipes include aubergines; when you buy them make sure they are firm and shiny. Tomatoes always taste better when kept out of the fridge at room temperature. Dont worry if you have leftovers; keep them in the fridge and the flavours will only improve. ENJOY! Dates grown on the coast xii

Introduction
Where my love of cooking began
When I was a young child growing up in Beirut, I used to watch my mother cooking with fascination, but she would not allow me to help because the kitchen was always so busy.

Not only did she cook for our family, there were also regular visits from relatives who came to visit from our mountain village. Our house in the city was always open and welcoming to any visitors. My mother, always a mountain woman even though she had moved to the city, remained a firm believer in cooking traditional, authentic food. She was a great cook and very resourceful with what she had learned, or sometimes with whatever was available in the house. She was not particularly adventurous and stuck to authentic and classic Lebanese recipes and made them brilliantly. As a child, I loved my trips with her to the food market in central Beirut, where she hunted for bargains and haggled for the best price.
