Listen "Episode 121: Lebanese Baking with Maureen Abood: Traditional and Modern Middle Eastern Recipes Rooted in Home and Heritage"
Episode Synopsis
Raised in a Lebanese-American family in Michigan, Maureen Abood’s passion for cooking, baking, and storytelling shines through her work—whether on her website, in her first cookbook Rose Water and Orange Blossoms (an IACP Award finalist), or in her New York Times features on Middle Eastern cuisine.
Now, she’s released her newest book, Lebanese Baking: More than 100 Recipes for Sweet and Savory Baked Goods. Her book is the first cookbook to fully explore the depth and breadth of Lebanon’s baking traditions, blending classic recipes with thoughtful American adaptations.
In this episode, we chat about her journey into food writing, how she worked to preserve and celebrate Lebanese baking in her new book, her memories of cooking within a tight-knit family community, and her best tips for home bakers.
