She is amazing and I am thrilled with the Hadia Lebanese Style Recipe book that I bought last month. This book is no &#8220;light weight&#8221;! It weighs over 4 lbs!<br \/>\nAlso, it has more than 400 beautifully designed, mouthwatering color photo pages showing each recipe. This book has actually motivated me to want to try as many recipes as possible because the recipes all look so good. Yet, the recipes use simple ingredients and are easy to follow. The recipes that I have tried so far were so yummy, delicious and came out just the way I expected. I can see that this book will appeal to and please any skill level from a beginner to the highest level skilled chef. It truly has so much to offer. It is fun and fascinating to browse and discover the extent and diversity of the recipes and the information and tips available. I can honestly say that this book is a great value and a must have for anyone who has a kitchen and wants to cook and to see the recipe they are making with a beautiful color photo of the dish along with simple, detailed instructions. The book provides a vast variety of delicious recipes in all categories that can appeal to any pallet internationally. I look forward to trying, enjoying and having recipes in this book become some of my favorites now and hopefully continuing to expand my favorites from this cookbook in the years to come. Thanks to you Hadia!<\/p>\n<h1>Dishin with Didi<\/h1>\n<p>My good friend Hadia from Hadia\u2019s Lebanese Cuisine<br \/>\nwas gracious to send me her cookbook. When I received the book, I was like a kid in a candy store. I opened it up immediately and started looking thru.<br \/>\nNot only was I reviewing the cookbook and salivating, I brought it over when I would visit mom and was reading her the recipes and showing her the mouth watering pictures as well. Can I just say, this book is chock full of pictures personally taken by our good friend!<\/p>\n<p>This cookbook is literally next to none, and let me tell you, I have a ton of cookbooks. I used to have about 300 and have since paired down to about 25, so when I tell you this cookbook is absolutely beautifully done I mean it. Hadia was kind enough to translate metric for her American readers. Her step by step, is literally that, step by step, no steps missing. Her ingredients are fresh, homemade, which do not require a zillion ingredients but most of all, they are not labor intensive!<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<p>She has meticulously explained every ingredient if you have to purchase it, and even how to even substitute that said ingredient if need be so you don\u2019t have to stop in the middle of recipe and say to yourself; \u201cdang it, I don\u2019t have\u2026\u201d Right? I hate that! I also hate those really weird exotic ingredients that cost a fortune, which you will only use 2 tsp at the most and never use it again.<br \/>\nHadia must share our thoughts and frustrations!<\/p>\n<p>There were quite a few recipes that caught my mom\u2019s eye. I have about 7 more I need to make for her as soon as possible is the command!<br \/>\nMom\u2019s first recipe she wanted to try out was Hadia\u2019s Zalabbia. They are fried dough with sesame seeds and anise seeds, coupled with just a smidgen of sugar? Heaven! Absolute heaven!<br \/>\nI love Hadia\u2019s tip of putting in 3 small holes into the strips prior to frying. It\u2019s absolutely genius I say! You are going to ask me; \u201cDidi why are you so excited about 3 small holes into the dough\u201d?<br \/>\nWell my friends, why it so genius is because you can see through the holes that the one side is now nicely golden and can then flip over to the other side. See? I told you genius.<br \/>\nThe Zalabbia\u2019s are crispy, absolutely not greasy at all, and that is very important! They are slightly sweet, they are nutty with the addition of the sesame seeds and possess a light Anise flavor which translates my friends into a bite of heaven! These are absolutely perfect for breakfast, or an afternoon munchie\u2026<br \/>\nHadia recommends a Lebanese cream cheese \u201cLabneh\u201d, or you can slightly sprinkle them with powdered sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Mom and I tried both these versions and LOVED THEM! Mom loved the sprinkled powder sugar, she has such a sweet tooth I say! I tried something different and dipped them in a combination of Tahini w\/ honey. OH MY GOODNESS! The combination of the Tahini with honey along with the the slightly sweet, nutty Zalabbia\u2019s? That was my most favorite combination! Mom tried it and also promptly fell in love just as I did!<br \/>\nWe love this cookbook so much I ordered my mom one for a surprise Mother\u2019s Day gift. I know I will be making them, but as long as I keep my mom interested and wanting to create? That is a score onto itself!<br \/>\nSo order yourself a copy of this cookbook, I cannot stress this<br \/>\nenough! You can order here; Hadia Lebanese Style Recipes<br \/>\nWhen you get your cookbook, do what I did; grab yourself a cup of tea, and start bookmarking the recipes you will be making first\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\">\n<div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">\n<h1><strong>The review of Kelly from Wildflour\u2019s Cottage Kitchen<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>I had secretly been dreaming of owning this beautiful cookbook by my dear friend, Hadia. When one day, out of the crystal blue, she asked me if I\u2019d like to have a copy! I couldn\u2019t believe it! I was so excited and thankful, after a very awful day, that I think I actually cried! Hadia, Lebanese Style Recipes was on it\u2019s way! (I think I pinched myself, too! Well, we had some kind of mishap during the shipping from Canada, and the book never made it here. (Obviously, someone else liked it quite a lot, too). But the always kind and extremely generous Hadia, had her very helpful son, who\u2019s currently attending college in Montreal, send a second copy!! Bless her heart!!<br \/>\nI first met Hadia on Facebook after seeing one of her elegant dishes shared on a friend\u2019s cooking page. When I went to visit her FB page, Hadia\u2019s Lebanese Cuisine, to see more of her recipes, I was absolutely floored!! Her photos are nothing short of stunning! And her recipes not only include Lebanese-style food, but she also enjoys making and creating dishes from all over the world! When I saw that she was an author of her own cookbook, and even took all of her own photos for the book as well, I hoped that by Christmas we\u2019d be back on our feet so that I could BEG Santa for a copy.<br \/>\nWell\u2026Christmas came early this year.<br \/>\nWhen the second book arrived, (safe and sound this time!), I couldn\u2019t put it down!! Every single page was so beautifully done and her dishes and tablescapes so vibrantly full of brilliant colors, that your eyes just feast on every carefully planned detail! You can\u2019t hardly wait to turn the page to see what\u2019s next!! I spent many afternoons pouring over each and every recipe, marking pages with little pieces of paper torn from my spiral notebook. And by the time I had gone through her book 3 times, I had over 30 pages marked!<br \/>\nWell, though I would\u2019ve LOVED to have made them all for this post, I kinda thought that 30 might be a wee bit too much. So, I planned out a nice, intimate dinner for my husband and I to be enjoyed out on the deck, and chose to make a lovely, summer supper al fresco for two, instead!<br \/>\nI started our evening with a pretty salad that I made from what I already had on hand, arranged nicely on a large plate to be shared, including Hadia\u2019s light and refreshing Mayonnaise Dressing! There are only 6 simple ingredients to this refreshing, and lightly tangy dressing, and it went beautifully with the salad ingredients that I had chosen! I even made some pretty little turkey and roast beef \u201croses\u201d! Our dinner al fresco was off to a fabulous start!<br \/>\n(*Note: The only thing that I did differently, due to our commercial mayonnaise containing air from being whipped, was to only add 2 Tbl. water instead of 3, and that worked perfectly! You may want to use more or less, depending on what brand you are using, and to achieve whatever consistency that you desire. I used Hellmann\u2019s).<br \/>\nMoving right along to the main course! Since it was picture perfect weather, I definitely wanted to grill our entree, (which turned into two, because I simply couldn\u2019t narrow down my picks any further!), and chose to make two different kabobs! I wanted a casual, but party-like atmosphere, and anything cooked on a stick just makes it even more fun, doesn\u2019t it? I wanted to choose 2 entrees that are popular where Hadia is originally from, Beirut, and when I saw her middle eastern Shish Tawook (Chicken Kabobs), and her Grilled Kafta Kebobs (ground beef or lamb), my heart leapt! I knew that they would be absolutely perfect, and they sure were!!<br \/>\nMy hubby let me know immediately \u2013 \u2013 without speaking a word \u2013 \u2013 that the dishes I had prepared and grilled were authentic. That each had brought back memories for him of searching out food vendors in the early hours of the morning when he was in the Navy. And he said, that BOTH kabobs, were spot-on! He was teary-eyed. And I was, too, as he tasted small bites, taking in not just the food itself\u2026but you could see in his eyes, that he was reliving the streets that he walked on. The people that he spoke with as the sun rose. Thousands of miles from home, yet welcomed each day and greeted with a smile and conversation that one would have on any given morning right at your own kitchen table \u2013 \u2013 with not strangers \u2013 \u2013 but friends he just hadn\u2019t met yet. And he opened up a bit about his experiences there. I felt so grateful for every word he spoke of it.<br \/>\nMy hubby is a lover of anything banana, and ever since I first saw Hadia post this intriguing and unique recipe forFried Banana Balls (Akara), I have always wanted to make them, and kept her recipe in my back pocket of things to make SOON!! I knew that I would love them, and couldn\u2019t wait to see my hubby\u2019s reaction\u2026.believe me, when I say, his eyes rolled back (and I was lucky to get to try a few!) They were DELICIOUS, and such a perfectly fun, and festive dessert to slowly savor after a fantastic dinner!<br \/>\nLastly, and almost like a second dessert, we finished our romantic dinner for two, with sips of sweet Watermelon Juice! Cool, refreshing, and a perfect ending to our evening!<br \/>\nHadia, who is originally from southern Lebanon, has 3 sons, and she and her husband currently live in Kinshasa, Congo! She and her family have traveled extensively, which is how she has gained unlimited knowledge and learned to cook so many diverse cuisines! As a little girl, playing \u201cschool\u201d with her dolls and dreaming of being an English teacher, I think that she has also accomplished that dream, too. I cannot thank her enough for generously sending me her fabulous cookbook, (twice!), and teaching me how to cook authentic Lebanese dishes, and my husband thanks her as well. Not just for the wonderful dinner that I made for us, but also for bringing back the memories he has of being in Lebanon so many years ago.<br \/>\nThank you so much dear friend! Kelly Williams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h1><strong>A FoodieWineLover (Gina Martino Zarcadoolas)<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>A beautiful cookbook showcasing an assortment of global cuisines.

I was blown away when I received her beautiful cookbook, which by the way, is the size of a college text book filled with 600 recipes. I feel like I am with Hadia reading every recipe.<\/p>\n<p>I can not imagine the time, energy and dedication it took to create this incredible cookbook. It is very detailed and enticing. Each photograph is beautifully shown. I read and re-read through the cookbook many times, wracking my brain with what recipe I would choose to represent Hadia\u2019s cookbook in a fair and representational way.<br \/>\nI usually lean towards desserts, but I was contemplating what to serve my family for dinner. So I made my choice~ Grilled Kafta Kebabs! I love easy recipes, and Hadia delivers more than her share of easy and mouth watering recipes from soups, appetizers, salads, eggs, main courses and pastries, desserts in Lebanese recipes, French recipes, Mediterranean recipes, Italian recipes, and American recipes. Hadia \u2018s cookbook is so diversified and clearly reaches such a large audience, that it would be impossible for anyone to read the cookbook and not see an enticing recipe. This cookbook shows step by step recipes which are easy to follow, resulting in a perfect meal and dessert.<br \/>\nI have been a fan of Lebanese cuisine for years and decided to choose an authentic Grilled Kafta Kebabs. Only 7 ingredients are need for these moist and flavorful kebabs. The weather has been so mild in Maine this winter that we have actually been grilling. I served these delicious Kebabs with hummus and salad and pita bread.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Swathi\u2019s review about the book (Zesty South Indian Kithen):<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>I grew up eating rice pudding and had a belief that rice pudding is a dish only in India. But once I stepped out of India, I found that rice pudding is universal; you can find them in other parts of the world also. Rice pudding is varied with additions according to place of it origin. This recipe is Lebanese version of rice pudding \u201cRiz B Haleeb\u201d which translates to \u201cRice in Milk\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This recipe is adapted from the book \u201c Hadia Lebanese style recipes\u201d by Haida Zebib Khanafer. She is my virtual friend and also writes the blog Hadia\u2019s Lebanese Cuisine. She had sent me the book a while ago, but I was not able to try any recipes from it as I was debating on which one to try first. I have long list to try a few among them being Coconut Namoura, Zatar bread, Stouf cake etc. I am fan of Namoura which I used to get from a Middle Eastern Store near my old house. I collected spices, orange blossom water, rose water, pomegranate molasses etc. Now we are staying very far so it is not easy to make a trip as I would have earlier.<\/p>\n<p>The book consists of 21 chapters divided into soups, salads, appetizers, eggs, pastries, grains, pasta and gratin, Laban (yogurt based), tarts and pies, oriental sweets, drinks ,pickles and jam etc. This book has 440 recipes; and I am sure everybody will find their favorite one. Even though book is named as Lebanese style recipes, but it has recipes from all over the world. I would love to try Lebanese recipes as I can learn about the culture and cooking style. There are about 30 soups, 36 oriental sweets recipes etc to name a few. For example there are 8 pudding recipes you can choose from. This is just to give you an idea that this book has lot of delicious recipes. So if you are looking for good Lebanese recipes then buy this book you will love it. Only con I can find is that you need a long time to try all the recipes.<\/p>\n<p>I choose to try this Lebanese rice pudding because I wanted to learn the difference in cooking style of rice pudding in various countries. In India when we make rice pudding we don\u2019t add any thickener like corn starch. So it is runny consistency where as this rice pudding has thick consistency. Also I like the addition of mastic gum.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>NANCY BAZARIAN KASSABIAN\u2019S REVIEW<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2256 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/cookbook-1-copy_0-300x231.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/cookbook-1-copy_0-300x231.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/newsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/cookbook-1-copy_0.jpg 650w\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"231\" \/>\u201cDearest Hadia<br \/>\nI just received my copy of your exquisite cookbook and am thrilled with the beauty and elegance with which you put this work together. Stunning photographs accompanying each recipe with such a variety of foods, Middle Eastern and more! It is so complete! I am reading it like a \u201cnovel\u201d and cannot wait to get cooking! Thank you for this superb treasury of recipes.\u201d Nancy Bazarian Kassabian<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1><strong>May Darwish<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>May Darwish s review on Amazon: This is a wonderful cookbook whether one is of Lebanese, Middle-eastern, or any other background . It provides an easy step-by-step guide to wholesome and scrumptious recipes whose ingredients are easily found in one\u2019s own pantry or in grocery store aisles. The different sections are clearly divided and labeled, and the pages often conclude with a relevant quote, lending the book an intellectual edge. Of Lebanese heritage and a good cook myself, I find the book an easy reference when preparing a dinner party or when at a loss of what to cook. I\u2019ll certainly give a copy to each of my two daughters when they embark on their own journey of looking after a family of their own. May Darwish<\/p>\n<h1><strong>A Dish of Daily Life<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>Hadia Lebanese Style Recipes<br \/>\nA Dish of Daily Life\u2026Hadia\u2019s cookbook not only has the traditional Lebanese recipes that you expect to find in Arabic restaurants, but also a variety of recipes inspired by her travels around the world. She even includes helpful information on spices commonly used in Middle Eastern recipes, as well as how to properly set a dinner table. For someone who doesn\u2019t entertain often (and usually by the pool when she does), it\u2019s a nice reference to have on hand.<br \/>\nThere are quite a few recipes in Hadia\u2019s cookbook that I intend to try. I wanted to try the two I chose because they are both similar to Middle Eastern recipes that I make, and I enjoy trying new variations. I am so glad I did, because I found things about both versions that I loved. These are fantastic recipes! If you haven\u2019t tried Arabic food, Hadia\u2019s Middle Eastern recipes are an easy and delicious place to start. If you\u2019re already a fan, then you\u2019re going to LOVE this cookbook!<br \/>\nLentils are a staple in our house\u2026we eat them several times a month. Hadia uses caramelized onions in her recipe, which I have never done before. But since making this a few weeks ago, I have started to add them to my regular recipe\u2026they really add another dimension of flavor.<br \/>\nHadia\u2019s Mediterranean style green beans were also a huge hit\u2026the slow cooking brings out such a delicious flavor. My kids have already requested them several times! I have to say they were simply amazing. This recipe is a definite keeper! Michelle Kantor Nahom<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Priya Shiva<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>http:\/\/priyakitchenette.blogspot.in\/ Hadia Zebib Khanafer needs no introduction to foodies and cook book collectors. I started following Hadia almost a year back and started drooling on the food she shares. What started as small fascination ended up being an obsession for me. A day would not be complete if I don\u2019t see what Hadia had to offer that day. Slowly from a follower of her blogs, to building a connect in social media and interacting with her, I started getting drawn to the person Hadia is and ended being a friend. I was fortunate enough to receive the copy of her \u201cHadia Lebanese style recipes\u201d. This is one of the most comprehensive cook book I have come across till date with over 500 recipes. The book has been categorized beautifully from soups, starters, main dishes, desserts and lovely tips. The moment you lay your hands on this book, you know the efforts behind this book must have been humongous. This book, is a must have collection on your shelf. Priya Shiva.<\/p>\n<h1><strong>Christine It<\/strong><\/h1>\n<p>This book is amazing and the photos are mouth watering. A feast for the eyes!

Most of her recipes include a picture so you can see what that finished dish looks like and believe me, her recipes are a picture to look at!<br \/>\nHadia and her family are from Southern Lebanon and as she says, \u201cshe includes foods of her ancestors\u201d. The cuisine of Southern Lebanon relies heavily on natural ingredients from the Earth which include: wheat, tomatoes, olive oil, onions and citrus fruits.<br \/>\nHadia originally wanted to be a teacher, studying \u201cEnglish as a second language\u201d at the Lebanese<br \/>\nAmerican University<br \/>\n. She goes on to explain to her readers how she never cooked before she was married, not even knowing how to fry an egg. Hadia, is a self-taught cook who went from not knowing anything about cooking to writing a wonderful cookbook that has fabulous recipes.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her wonderful recipes, you will find all sorts of tips and tricks, temperature and measurement charts both in metric and U.S. Customary Units. Hadia tells us how to set a formal dinner table as well as an extensive section on Middle Eastern spices and kitchen utensils.<br \/>\nHer book covers many different categories from soups, salads and appetizers to pasta, grains, main courses and even cakes, pies and beverages, so this is an all-around cookbook.<br \/>\nHadia, thank you again for sharing your wonderful creations with me and I look forward to making many more of them as time goes on!<br \/>\nNow, without further ado, on the following pages, I bring you some of Hadia\u2019s most delicious recipes that myself and my family adored!
