Written by Salma Hage, The Middle Eastern Vegetarian Cookbook brings together 140 plant-based recipes that reflect the depth and diversity of food across the Levant and wider Middle East.
Rooted in home cooking, the book moves between familiar dishes and more contemporary combinations, capturing a way of eating that is shaped by seasonality, shared tables, and a strong connection to ingredients. From mezze and breads to vegetables, grains, and desserts, each recipe carries the balance of flavour and generosity that defines the region.
There is a natural ease to the way the recipes are written, making them accessible without losing their sense of place, while also offering space for creativity through reimagined dishes and evolving flavours.
More than a collection of recipes, the book reflects a wider culinary landscape, one that has long been shaped by movement, exchange, and cultural connection.
