Long before 'fresh' and 'local' were buzzwords in food magazines, there was Addie Bedway Shaheen, who knew the value of a joyful kitchen laden with tender grape leaves, fragrant garlic cloves,
tangy lemon and a generous handful of rice. Addie's death in 1994 did not stop the family from passing on the joy. In Addie's Way, son Michael carries the torch, sharing his mother's memories
of her life as a first generation Lebanese-American in rural Ohio. Ranging from the very simple to the sublime, each dish and the accompanying stories will stir the imagination, whet the
appetite and help nourish what is most important. From Addie's table to yours ... sahteen!
