From the Tables of Lebanon: Traditional Vegetarian Cuisine (Healthy World Cuisine) Paperback – January 1, 1997

Love the simplicity of this book and its healthy recipes. Authentic to Lebanese cooking. I have even given this book as a gift to family and friends, they all seem to love it as much as I did.

I'm vegetarian and this isn't what I thought it was. It's my fault. There are some veggie recopies in it, but a lot of meat ones too.

Nice cookbook for good and authentic Lebanese dishes.

Rating is for Kindle Version ONLY!This rating applies to navigation only, which for a cookbook I find very important. There is no link between the book's index and the text. In places the book refers one to a specific page but the kindle software (on mac) provides no ability to find such a page.UPDATE: Since I wrote the above I've had time to read more of this cookbook. I would recommend the printed edition. The recipes seem authentic and sound good.However, if you wish to use the book for cooking I suggest that you DO NOT BUY THE KINDLE EDITION. It seem that one cannot return a kindle book so I'm feeling cheated by amazon.com's sloppy work. There are numerous references to specific pages that one cannot find except by going page by page (which is certainly not how I use a cookbook).UPDATE II: Seems I am going to get a refund. I'm no longer irritated, just disappointed.

I’ve had this book for years and use it a lot. Simple and delicious. Nothing more to say!

Carolina trading company listed the book in better condition than the book actually was. The book arrived with damage to both the front and back covers. Then when going through the book I discovered that there were fourteen pages torn out of the book. When I contacted them through amazon their reply was it was do to human error when you go through as many books as they do. Fourteen pages torn from a book is more than human error to me. I requested a prepaid mailing label sent to me since I feel they should pay for the postage to mail it back to them. So far I have not seen this sent to me.do not use this book company.they do not check their books carefully and refuse to accept responsibility for any error saying it is just human nature which I feel is very poor customer service and attitude when dealing with the public. It was very clear they are there to make money and not serve the public.Amazon should omit this company from selling on their site.

I must first preface that I am not a vegetarian. I am third generation Lebanese-American and love Lebanese food, so people are always sending me cookbooks, and this book was just such a gift. This book has some very good recipies, however, I found some of them incomplete or difficult to follow. Having cooked Lebanese food myself now for a few years, I have been able overcome these difficulties. I highly recommend this books version of Fattoush and it's two Lentil Soup recipies. Those three recipies stand out the most. The food in this cookbook is healthy and very tasty. If you live in an are where fresh produce is readily available here is a book that can help you use it all.
