Lebanon has established a reputation as the Middle East’s food capital. This is because of its fresh, excellent, and diverse cuisine. Hummus, falafel, and tabbouleh are served in Lebanese restaurants all over the world. Moreover, international chefs put their own fashionable touch on classic recipes.
However, the finest place to experience Lebanese cuisine is in Lebanon, where it is cooked with care by those who know it well. These three Lebanese chefs take you on a virtual gastronomic tour of their homeland, from historic cafes to the newest eateries on Beirut’s streets to their personal kitchens.
If you’re planning a vacation to Lebanon, they have all the information you’ll need to keep well-fed throughout your stay. If you’re not, you’ll be able to find enough recipes and ideas to start your own Lebanese kitchen.
