Lebanon

A new book uses food to help humanise the people and places impacted by war.

Barbara Massaad's cookbook, Forever Beirut, shares a recipe for meatballs in yoghurt sauce that is served in Lebanon on New Year's Day.

A brand-new list by the United Nations World Tourism Organization is highlighting rural communities across the globe that are harvesting tourism for good.

Sheikh el mahshi is an alluring dish of fried aubergines stuffed with an aromatic filling of beef mince and pine nuts, then baked in a rich tomato sauce.

This vegetarian version of Anissa Helou's fatteh recipe is simple to make, using aubergine instead of meat.

It's a great contrast of textures, with crispy toasted pita, smooth yoghurt, crunchy pine nuts, juicy chicken and chickpeas, and is the perfect dish for Ramadan and Eid.
