  • Our take on the The Arab Table

    The Arab Table is May S. Bsisu's 188-recipe cookbook on the cuisines of Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and beyond. It covers cold and hot mezza, salads, soups, stews, grilled meats and fish, drinks and desserts, with familiar dishes like falafel, kebabs and baklava alongside lesser-known ones such as eggplant pomegranate salad and grilled halloumi triangles. Bsisu, who has cooked in Jordan, Lebanon, Kuwait and England, writes in a down-to-earth, personal voice. It suits home cooks who want a broad, approachable introduction rather than a narrow single-country book.
