Mouneh, one
of our oldest traditions, is all about preserving food. Barbara
Massaad's beautiful book illuminates the essential skills of saving
our local foods while preserving stories and traditions of our
land and its people.

Barbara Massaad
has made a valuable contribution by introducing Lebanon's rich
culinary heritage to a wide and varied public. It is indeed a
treat for the reader to enter these village homes with Barbara
and become acquainted with customs of the past which have endured
to this day.

I
loved Barbara Massaad's Man'oushe, and feel the same way about
her latest book, Mouneh.
In both books, she opens up the world of Lebanese gastronomy in
a unique way, connecting it to Lebanese culture while providing
wonderful mouth-watering recipes. I couldn't ask for more.

Wolfert - American Cookbook Author, Expert of Mediterranean Cuisine
After twenty-two
years living out my passion as a chef, I am increasingly convinced
that people are often too busy looking ahead - they miss the importance
and value of what is right in front of them. Barbara Massaad's
books remind us that our local produce and culinary tradition
are rich and important. This makes her work exceptional and keeps
us waiting for Barbara's next hit!
