msquebanh, The #cookbook stood as a simple, spiral-bound revelation when Habib-Kirske’s mother, Madelain Farah, first #SelfPublished it in 1972, fulfilling orders by mail herself (with young Habib-Kirske’s help). Back then, #recipes for the likes of hummus, tabbouleh & ful imdammas (falafel) weren’t easy to find & “ #Lebanese #Cuisine” became a treasured underground classic to #cooks from #Lebanon, other parts of the #MiddleEast & far beyond.
