I found this wonderful  website called Cooking from the Heart tonight and instantly recognized the lovely woman who insisted on buying my Mouneh dummy at the Salone del Gusto. She wrote a touching opinion about Mouneh, "Mouneh by Barbara Abdeni Massaad. Those who know me also know I’m a sucker for a good food book. So whilst perusing the stalls at Salone del Gusto  in October I came across Mouneh on a stall from Lebanon, after  instantly falling in love with the book I tried to purchase it only to  be told it was to be released in November and this was an advance copy.  After writing down the name I searched for it on the internet and came  across the website  This book has stayed beside my bed now for weeks and I wax lyrically  about it to anyone who’ll listen. It is a truly original work from which  the author conveys cooking from her culinary roots that is near and  dear to her heart. Another reason to buy the book is that each copy sold  will contribute to an Arabic version being produced which means the  people of Lebanon will have a record of their own food culture, which as  with most traditional foods is being diluted or lost. So buy two copies  as they make great gifts."
