My Mother's Table coming soon

Ahla Wsahla w-Tfadalo! Welcome and please do come in!

A wise man once said, “Love is mostly given in the kitchen.”  The sacrifice of time and energy it takes a person to assemble a meal is notably valuable, specifically when focusing on a matter close to one’s heart – family. 

Some of my cherished memories as a child were the special occasions we celebrated at our home.  In addition to the warm welcome and multiple embraces, I remember being in awe of watching my mother devise elaborate Lebanese spreads, yet never complaining of exhaustion.  I recall her instructing me, “When one cooks from the heart, the food is delicious and the fatigue is forgotten.” 

Years later, I would relocate and in the effort of recreating her art of constructing a Lebanese meal, I spent hours on the phone getting recipes from her.   Her accomplishments and perfected skills with preparing the most scrumptious Lebanese cuisine earned her an admirable reputation in her local and extended community.  Her exquisite presentation is unmatched as well as her cheerful demeanor.   I am regularly asked for her savory recipes, which brings us to this book.    


My Mother's Table is a collection of authentic Lebanese Cuisine recipes, which offer different variations of preparing the same meal.  These variations differ based on the region in Lebanon one comes from or the advanced simple approach developed by comforts of modern life. 

I hope you enjoy My Mother’s Table.  It’s with love that I share my mother’s recipes in hopes of passing on these Lebanese treasures to your table.

Sahtein!  To your health!
