Popular Surrey restaurant, Lebnani kindly sent us their new hamper, the Luxe Beirut Box as an early Christmas present to celebrate the launch of two of their thoughtfully curated Christmas hampers which will bring the delicious, magical flavours of Lebanon to your festive celebrations. This is a unique, delicious and premium gift should be on your gift list this year, for sure.
But back to these tasty treats.
With two price points, (£38 and £75), whether for family, friends, a colleague, your children’s teacher or even as a treat for yourself (my favourite, ha), they truly make the perfect present.
With exclusive recipe cards from Lebnani Chef Jad Youssef (previously of the popular Yalla Yalla restaurants, and Picadilly’s Fakhreldine) accompany the quality ingredients for inspo in the kitchen.
The Observer’s Jay Rayner previously described Jad’s cooking as, “It is food that makes you feel like you are engaged in an exercise of profound self-care. It’s “me time” in a succession of beautifully dressed plates.” High and deserved praise indeed.
We’re total foodies here so I’ll be making homemade hummus with the Extra Virgin Olive Oil, tahini and herbs as well as desserts using the fragrant, sweet orange blossom water such as trifle or rice pudding. The pomegranate molasses makes for a tangy and refreshing salad dressing, mixed with olive oil. Yum.
