Over 200 recipes and the author's recollections from childhood combine to tell the story of a little-known group of early immigrants to the Saskatchewan prairies--the Syrians (most of them later known as Lebanese).
Readers will delight in Habeeb Salloum's childhood recollections and his tales of encounters with food around the world. Cooks will be inspired by his love of cooking, by his deep appreciation for his culinary heritage, and by his enthusiasm for new discoveries in food through his travels.

Note: The recipe instructions are simple, straightforward, and thorough. Recipe names are provided in English as well as in Arabic with phonetic spelling. Arab proverbs throughout the book provide both insight and humour.
