I'll wager that most cooks would be very flattered if they ended up described this way: "One of the most stylish, best, authentic cooks I have ever met." That's great praise, indeed.
Those are the terms of Kathy Squires of Mount Pleasant in suggesting her good friend, Hala Imad, as a good home prepare food worthy of being profiled listed here. And Kathy is known as je devais prendre quatre classes 37 a fine prepare food herself.
Kathy writes, "Hala primarily at home cooks Lebanese and French and she is very good at it. Frequently over the holidays she will make a traditional Lebanese feast and invite several of the woman's female friends and she has people invite friends we would like to introduce to one another. I have never experienced pleasantness or cooking like that you can have at Hala's."
A. We cook the Lebanese traditional meals, appetizers like hummus, baba ghannouj, tabouleh, stuffed grape leaves; main dishes like shawarma, stuffed squash and several slowly cooked stews that are typical of Lebanese everyday cooking. I do cook dinner French dishes but predominantly I bake French pastries as well as dessert.
