Going Home is a journey of the heart for author Sophia Lindop that finally found completion in her passion — the food of Lebanon, the homeland of her ancestors. From traditional home-cooked fare (foul, fatteh and hummus bi tahini served with khoubz, plump tomatoes, za’atar, and mint) to the everyday street food of humble street vendors (crisp ka’ak and sugary ahweh); from ruby cherries and dripping watermelon from the farmlands to the haute cuisine of fine dining in plush settings: slow-roasted lamb stuffed with garlic, pot-roasted chicken drenched in lemon juice, giant bowls of crisp salads and vegetables, and delectable sweet pastries. Going Home is a feast for the eye, the palate, and the heart. A heartfelt story about someone’s search for identity; an in-depth look at the food culture of Lebanon — both historically and contemporary; a visual feast.
