publication · 2026-04-01

A recipe for atayef bjebne, a Lebanese pancake dish filled with cheese, has been detailed in a forthcoming cookbook titled 'Beit Trad' by Sarah Trad, as recounted by Gilles Khoury. The publication is set for release on March 31, 2026, by Thames & Hudson Australia, with a retail price of AUD$69.99. The recipe outlines ingredients including akkawi cheese or mozzarella, flour, semolina, yeast, and orange blossom water, along with a method involving batter fermentation, one-sided cooking, and baking with butter and sugar. It is presented as a traditional Middle Eastern dessert or snack suitable for sharing. The content also references other recipes by Alison Roman and Katie Lolas, and encourages newsletter sign-ups for updates. The source is a food-related article, though the context suggests it may be part of a broader cultural or culinary publication rather than an art event.
