This isn’t easy with the kids since they always want to go to mcdonalds!!!However last summer we went to Lebanon for a vacation and since then my children love eating Lebanese food, they keep on asking for a manouche and kafta sandwich…I have no problem cooking all kinds of cuisine. I enjoy inviting my girlfriends for lunch and let them discover my cooking. My sister told me about this website, and I am very happy to be a member and learn more recipes.
