Maydān : recipes from Lebanon and beyond

Summary/Review: "Seeking inspiration for her restaurants, Rose Previte traveled old spice trade routes, learning directly from cooks to expand her knowledge of the most delicious regional traditions. The word maydān, which can be loosely translated as "gathering place," has roots in a number of languages and has been crossing borders for generations, from Tangier to Tehran and from Batumi to Beirut--just like the food Previte cooks. The more than 100 recipes featured in this cookbook originate from her travels, the most popular dishes in the restaurants, as well as Previte's home kitchen, taking cues from the way her Lebanese family ate growing up, with boldly flavorful food that brings people together and is meant to be shared."--Back cover.
