The debut cookbook from Rose Previte, creator of the Michelin-starred restaurant Maydn and the beloved Compass Rose, explores bold flavors, accessible, shareable recipes and overlapping foodways, spanning from Lebanon to Morocco, from Oman to the Republic of Georgiacowritten withNew York Timesbestselling cookbook author Marah Stets.

Prevites culinary journey began at home with her Lebanese American mother and Sicilian American father. Many of the recipes and techniques in this book were imparted to Previte by home cooks, often grandmothers, whom she learned from on her travels in the Middle East and beyond. With more than 150 recipes,Maydnoffers guidance on how to build our own tables, taking cues from the way Prevites Lebanese family ate growing up; emphasizing mixing and matching; scaling up or down; making a weeknight meal such as Tunisian Chicken Skewers with Loobieh bi Zeit (Green Bean Salad); creating the ideal spread of Lebanese small plates for entertaining guests; and a project day (the cheesy Georgian bread Khachapuri), all of which can be paired with one of the easy-to-source Georgian and Lebanese wines Rose recommends.
