Synopsis

Beit Trad is more than a guesthouse in the Lebanese mountains; it is a home alive with memory, hospitality, laughter and, above all, life.In this intimate book, Sarah Trad takes us from her childhood summers in Kfour, through the food, warmth and joy of her mother's legendary gatherings, to the transformation of the house into a guesthouse that embodies the very essence of Levantine hospitality. Through personal memories, the careful restoration of the estate and a collection of beloved recipes, Beit Trad: Recipes, Stories & the Art of Lebanese Hospitality invites readers to experience a way of living where generosity, abundance and care shape every moment of a house bathed in light.Beit Trad is a refuge, a celebration of Lebanese home traditions and a living link between generations. It is a place where friends become family, where every visit is a ritual, and where the art of hosting is preserved, shared and passed on to future generations.
