After observing that her cooking has become less meat-centric, Hage (The Lebanese Kitchen) shares simple Middle Eastern recipes that offer plenty of choices for vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free eaters. Home cooks can craft a light meal of appealing mezze and salads (e.g., halloumi with sumac and mint, roasted butternut squash with spicy tahini dressing) or a more substantial feast with mains, drinks, and desserts (e.g. vegetarian koftas, Lebanese iced tea with orange flower water, almond pistachio cookies). Tasteful color photographs accompany most dishes and complement the book's simple design.
VERDICT Fans of Samuel and Samantha Clark's Moro cookbooks and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's River Cottage Veg will find many meals to love here.
