There are three cuisines that I could eat in rotation: Italian, Japanese and Lebanese; all of them remind me of the way food makes an essential difference to life and the honest pleasures to be derived therein. A book that contains recipes from a food chain may not sound promising, but 1) It is a superior food chain, and 2) These are very fine recipes. My tummy really rumbled as I leafed through, trying to decide what to choose for you. It was a hard, hard choice, but I went for the Feta and Za'tar Omelette, as it certainly lights up my weekend breakfasts and weekday suppers.
