Savory Vegan Lebanese Fare: From My Father’s Garden Published by Outskirts Press
Author Lydia Eskander offers lovers of traditional Mediterranean cuisine more than seventy tasty and nutritious vegan Lebanese recipes that will not only please the palate but also invigorate the body with their natural, healthy ingredients.
South Plainfield, NJ, January 21, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Author, cook and vegan Lydia Eskander announced today the release of her book From My Father’s Garden, Vegan Lebanese Food, published by Outskirts Press. After experiencing the health restoring potential of a vegan diet, Lydia Eskander recognized that her own native Lebanese cuisine – including virtually every dish from creamy rich hommos to tangy baba ghanouj – fit perfectly into the nutritious vegan diet.
After arriving in America in 1984 from her native Lebanon, the author found that new and unhealthy eating habits combined with the stress of her daily commute to Manhattan had begun to take a toll on her health. She began having severe pain in her joints, especially her wrists. After unsatisfactory treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs, the author ran across a prominent doctor who advocated an alternative, natural remedy.
She began taking flax seed oil and, to her great relief, her pain was soon gone. Then she learned of two people, one diagnosed with colon cancer, the other with inoperable cancer, who both became cancer free after being put on a diet of raw vegetables and fruit. Lydia continued with a vegan diet herself and within months she had lost fifteen pounds, had corrected a severe hormone imbalance and recovered from several other health issues.
Recognizing the similarity of these vegan diets with her own native Lebanese cuisine, she began compiling recipes that offered the succulent flavors of Lebanese dishes with the natural therapy of a vegan diet. Contrary to the belief of some, Lydia points out that one can get one’s daily requirements of protein and calcium from vegetables and legumes.
The more than seventy recipes Lydia has compiled here -- accompanied by some truly mouth watering color photography -- will introduce diners to the delicious variety of Lebanese dishes. Authentic, simple and easy to prepare recipes for tabouli, fattoush, kibbeh, spinach pie and stuffed grape leaves are just some of the tantalizing dishes Lydia presents among the many appetizers, salads, main dishes and deserts this innovative new cookbook offers.
From My Father’s Garden is available on-line in paperback through Amazon and Barnes and Noble and at www.outskirtspress.com/bookstore for a maximum trade discount in quantities of ten or more.

About the author:
Lydia Eskander turned to a vegan diet after suffering from difficult medication-resistant health problems for more than ten years. After just a few months of eating vegan, Lydia lost fifteen pounds, her severe arthritis pain disappeared, her hypothyroid condition and other hormone imbalances were corrected, and many other health issues simply went away. Lydia hopes readers will find the same success with healthy vegan eating, and that this cookbook gives them both support and inspiration.
