Keep it Zesty: A Celebration of Lebanese Flavors and Culture from Edy's Grocer

We're delighted to have copies of Keep it Zesty signed by Edy Massih.

Taking over a neighborhood deli in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Lebanese-born Edy Massih–who’d attended the CIA and worked in NYC restaurants–brought a bright and vivid new presence to the block.

Drawing on fresh spices and flavorings, updating traditional Lebanese dishes, or co-opting American standards, Massih is a pantry guy, creating his own herb blends, making his own pickles, jams, and preserves, and using them boldly and deftly in dishes such as:

• Chocolate tahini overnight oats

• Charred corn, tomato, and halloumi salad

• Pistachio-crusted lamb chops

• Turkish coffee tiramisu

Also included is Massih’s signature Brown Paper Board, a hangloose spread of appetizers, cheeses, meats, salads, spreads, and almost anything else you like that dispenses with platters in favor of, you guessed, it, brown kraft paper.

Bold and fun.
