Reviews

"In her fifth cookbook, Forever Beirut, Barbara Abdeni Massaad (Soup for Syria) pays tribute to her roots, showcasing the abundant cultural and culinary heritage of the capital of Lebanon. The 100 easy-to-prepare recipes are introduced with Massaad's personal reminiscences as well as cultural notes, and almost every one of the 256 pages features vibrant and evocative food and location photos. Focusing on seasonal home cooking, Massaad introduces such familiar favorites as tabbouleh, a vast array of breads and pastries, and dishes inspired by the ethnic diversity of the city. Forever Beirut will delight both new and more experienced lovers of Lebanese cooking."--Shelf Awareness

"Forever Beirut is a warm introduction to Lebanese cuisine and its multicultural heritage ... As chef and philanthropist José Andrés notes in his heartfelt introduction: Barbara Abdeni Massad's cookbook Forever Beirut captures the dynamic, cosmopolitan spirit of the Middle Eastern city ... this cookbook serves dual purposes: both raising funds for the Lebanese Food Bank and reminding the world of Beirut's tremendous culinary heritage. Each recipe is introduced with affectionate memories of cooks, food vendors, and producers, and with absorbing stories about its unique ingredients, corresponding festivals, and cooking techniques. The book's emphasis is on seasonal and fresh ingredients and scratch cooking ...The plentiful color photographs focus on food and its makers, though there are also Beirut streetscapes, both picturesque and not (barbed wire, protest graffiti)...
