Oh June, here you are. Welcome, and thank you for coming. While I'm stacking up my long-awaited reading list for summer (just finished Tom Lake by Ann Patchett), we're getting deep into plans for sharing my new cookbook, Lebanese Baking, with the world this fall. May I tap into you, my nearest and dearest, to ask you a favor?
Do you know of any Lebanese communities (churches, associations, groups of any kind) or interested business leaders or friends that we can ask to purchase quantities of books? We're gratefully asking these groups or individuals to pre-order as many books as possible now! The books can be sold in gift shops, holiday bazaars, gifted to members, teams, and employees, that sort of thing. Let me know any ideas you may have by hitting reply to this email! These orders are essential to raising the profile of the book.
On to our menu for this week. I made beef shish kebab this past week for the first time in a while. I was using the kebabs for a photo shoot, and in doing that remembered just how much we love them! Dan said we'll be making these as often as possible this summer and I agree.
With the kebabs, make some great side dishes that elevate the Mediterranean Lebanese flavor and good health of your plate. Scroll down for the menu.
There's always another holiday just around the corner, isn't there? Father's Day cometh! Your guys will enjoy the boxed gifts, Lebanese olive oil, and open-and-eat treats from the shop, so take a look and let us get them out the door to you and the dads you love.
Bless your hands,
Shish Kebabs.
You can make big long skewers and push the meat and veggies off onto a platter, or you can make small skewers and serve those individually.
Studded with thin browned vermicelli pieces, this rice goes great with any kind of kebab. Add sautéed mushrooms, pine nuts, and herbs to gild the lily!
Brown butter and a fun whisking approach to the batter results in a cookie at the head of the class. Baking my nephew a batch this week to celebrate the end of his freshmen year! And, check out my story with this one.
