Last night at Lynn Freed's reading in San Francisco I got to meet the Lebanese-American writer and artist Rabih Alameddine. If you haven't read anything by this innovative storyteller, now is your chance. You could buy his latest book right now, but until it arrives in your mailbox, go read excerpts from his stories at Zoetrope online.

Deborah Madison: Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
Indispensable - I use it all the time, and give it as presents to brides, young people starting out, etc. Not for vegetarians only - hence the title - a great resource for anybody wanting delicious recipes for vegetables, grains and legumes. Great sauces and salads, too.Claudia Roden: Arabesque: A Taste of Morocco, Turkey, and Lebanon
Excellent in-depth cultural and social essays on three major cuisines; the recipes include the standards as well as unusual dishes, and the photographs are gorgeous. A great gift book - the Dove asked for and got it for Christmas.
Thanks for the tip, Leila.
