Green Levantine Cuisine is a cookbook of delicious vegan food from the Levant and other Arabic speaking countries. This book includes 23 of the most popular plant-based recipes throughout the Middle East and North Africa, comprised of ingredients easily found in non-Arab countries. The purpose of this cookbook is to help vegans and non-vegans explore the rich Middle Eastern and North African Cultures through food that is good for your body and the earth we live on. This cookbook is mostly comprised of very simple recipes, with very little cooking knowledge or experience required!

All of the recipes in this cookbook approximate to four servings, although, if you eat large quantities of food like me, you may be able to finish the whole meal alone! Keeping in mind that specific measurements are rarely used to cook many of the recipes in this book, quantifying the amount of ingredients was one …

Keeping in mind that specific measurements are rarely used to cook many of the recipes in this book, quantifying the amount of ingredients was one of the toughest parts of writing this book, and required many trials until I achieved the perfect amount of the ingredients. The help of my Mother and four older sisters was crucial in the making of this book. Cover by Comfort Anyanwu.

One of my favourite cookbooks

5 steloj

I have a new favourite cookery book and it is Green Levantine Cuisine, a wonderful introduction to the traditional vegan dishes of Middle Eastern and North African cuisine. Like many new vegans I suppose, I first looked towards India for advice and recipes for cooking my own tasty vegan curries, but have since learned that most cultures have vegan gems to share and this Levantine selection is inspirational. I love that the chosen dishes don't require long lists of ingredients or the skills of a Michelin chef. Hader writes in a friendly, chatty style so his book feels welcoming and encouraging. It includes colour photographs and, of the few recipes I've tried so far, most turned out looking fairly similar to the pictures! I managed to find some of the more specialised spices in a Middle Eastern grocery in Chester and sumac particularly has been a revelation. Other than those …

I love that the chosen dishes don't require long lists of ingredients or the skills of a Michelin chef. Hader writes in a friendly, chatty style so his book feels welcoming and encouraging. It includes colour photographs and, of the few recipes I've tried so far, most turned out looking fairly similar to the pictures! I managed to find some of the more specialised spices in a Middle Eastern grocery in Chester and sumac particularly has been a revelation. Other than those spices though, practically all the ingredients are basic staples such as lentils and rice which I already had so it was great not to have to splash out in order to experiment. I appreciated seeing authentic recipes for tabbouleh, hummus and falafel - my own previous concoctions having been close, but not quite right - and am looking forward to trying ideas such as Tahini-baked Cauliflower as soon as I can track down some allspice. Hader includes recipes for flatbreads too and the Egyptian favourite, Kushari, which I have seen mentioned in novels and can now sample for myself. This one does look more like a sharing meal than a one-person dinner though so I shall probably inflict my attempt on our next visitors! I almost always enjoy cooking anyway, but every once in a while I find a cookery book that reignites my creative spark. Green Levantine Cuisine has done that so well.
