Big news: Lebanon with mama!
I was blessed to travel to Lebanon for the first time in 16 years since I took mama there in 1998, in the fall of 2014; and last year in 2018 I returned again.
In 1998 mama’s first return to her homeland since she immigrated with her mother and brothers at age 16 in 1926 reuniting with her father in Detroit, Michigan, was such a blessing. We found the home she was born in and had lunch there with our cousins.
The photo on the cover of Alice’s Kitchen is mama and her mother, Dalal in 1926 when they came to America. I have been blessed to visit Lebanon many times over the years in the fall, when the grapes and figs are in season, and visiting our family village of Douma, Batroun! Many of my trip photos have been posted on Facebook and Instagram. Here’s a link to my Facebook cookbook page!
