The Best Traditional Lebanese Recipes

The best traditional Lebanese recipes have been passed down from my family. I even documented them all in my Authentic Lebanese Cuisine cookbook. Try the refreshing Tabbouleh Salad and Fattoush Salad alongside the much-loved crispy Falafel, creamy Hummus, and delicious Baklava recipe.

For a larger gathering, enjoy delicious Chicken Shawarma with authentic Kibbeh and creamy Baba Ganoush! And don’t forget the Lebanese Garlic Sauce!
