Vegetarian Arab Cuisine by Ruth Salem Sader is a culinary journey that brings the rich flavours of Middle Eastern cooking to the vegetarian table. As the granddaughter of Syrian and Lebanese immigrants, Sader was immersed in the aromatic world of Middle Eastern spices and dishes from a young age. Her personal transition to vegetarianism led her to explore and adapt traditional recipes, resulting in a collection that honours authentic flavours while catering to plant-based diets.

The cookbook offers a diverse array of recipes, encompassing pastes, yogurts, salads, stews, egg-based dishes, desserts, and beverages. Notable recipes include:​

• Lebanese Tabbouleh​

• Escarole in Olive Oil 

• Stuffed courgettes

• Rice with Lentils 

• Fried Falafel Balls 

• Dried Apricot Candies with Almonds​

• Turkish Coffee with Cardamom
