This recipe is from my copy of "Rayess' art of Lebanese cooking" - George N. Rayess - 1966 (translated), that I picked up at the second-hand book store in the National Trust cafe at Plas Newydd Country House and Gardens.

The book is a great reminder of how food was prepared in the past. A great source of inspiration, though I don't think I'll be making this recipe.
