Lebanese cuisine spreads internationally and catches the interest of foreign newspapers

L’Orient le Jour published yesterday an article originally published by a UK newspaper about restaurant in Ibiza called Patchwork and which is classified amongst the three best restaurants on this island.  The restaurant offers traditional Lebanese cuisine including beurek, shish taouk, baba ghannouj and other plates and is run by a French couple.
Also, and according to l’Orient le Jour, Lebanese cuisine has attracted the interested of a number of foreign newspapers including the London Evening which noted that tennis players Andy Murray and Maria Sharapova preferred plate is Shish Taook and Lebanese baklava.  British Daily Mail also wrote that Tabbuleh is one of the preferred meals of Kate Middleton.  The newspaper noted that this is not the first time that foreign newspapers pick up articles on Lebanese cuisine.  Only a few months ago, the Lebanese Cedars restaurant was selected as the best restaurant in the UK.  The restaurant is run by Lebanese-Australian chef Gray Maalouf who won the title of creator of a new style of cooking known as 'Modern Middle Eastern'.  LoJ adds that Lebanese-Brazilian chef Alex Attalah was on the cover of Time magazine as the “King of cuisine”.
