✨Before we get started, an exciting announcement ✨
If you’re a food, nutrition, or culinary pro and you dream of being published by a traditional publisher, I want to invite you to my upcoming Publish Your Cookbook event. In this free training, you’ll learn the shortcut most aspiring authors miss: how to sell your cookbook concept before you write the entire manuscript. You’ll discover how to position yourself as the author publishers want right now, and the exact steps to land your first book deal. This is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. Head to publishcookbooks.com to register for the free event.
Today I’m joined by award-winning author Maureen Abood to talk about her beautiful new book, Lebanese Baking. Known for her warm storytelling and deep connection to Lebanese food culture, Maureen invites us into the heart of her kitchen and heritage. During the interview, we discussed:
- Behind the table of contents: how Maureen designed the book to blend classic staples, family favorites, and innovative takes.
- The significance of sharing: why the act of baking and offering food to others is central to Lebanese tradition.
- Homemade phyllo dough: what inspired her to include this ambitious yet rewarding recipe, and how she makes it approachable.
- A baker’s starting point: which recipes Maureen recommends if you’re new to baking and to Lebanese cuisine.
If you’ve ever been curious about Lebanese flavors, want to expand your baking repertoire, or simply love the idea of food as a way to connect and share, this conversation will inspire you to preheat your oven and invite someone to the table.
