Julie Taboulie’s Lebanese Kitchen entre to great recipes

One of the most refreshing and entertaining food programs showcasing Middle Eastern and Arab World cuisine is Julie Tabouli. From New York and of Lebanese heritage, Julie has been cooking since she was a young child passing on recipes handed down to her from her mother and grandmother. On television since 2012 showing Americans how to make this exciting food, Julie recently a launched a new TV show “Julie Tabouli’s Lebanese Kitchen.”

By Ray Hanania

No one is a better Middle Eastern cook than Julie Taboulie, the Lebanese American TV food show host on the PBS network.

Julie, whose real name is, Julie Ann Sageer, launched her PBS program this year in April, a series of 30 minute segments that offers the quality instruction on how to make the best tasting Middle Eastern foods.

Her show made Television history in 2012 by becoming the first, and only, Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine cooking show series airing in the United States, opening the door of exquisite and great tasting Middle Eastern and Arab foods to mainstream Americans from coast to coast.

Julie’s first show was “Cooking with Julie Taboulie” which launched nationally on Public Television in May 2013 after a very successful run hosted by the New York public television syndication on WCNY. Now, her new show, “Julie Taboulie’s Lebanese Kitchen” accentuates her growing popularity in the diverse American food industry.

Season 1 of the new weekly TV food series “Julie Taboulie’s Lebanese Kitchen” launched on March 31, 2017 on PBS and can be seen on most PBS affiliate stations from Los Angeles to New York.

The show broadcasts at 4 pm every Tuesday in New York on WYCC PBS, and in Chicago on Tuesdays at 3 PM on Comcast Cable TV Channel 240, and on Channel 11. CHeck your local PBS listing for showtimes in your city.

Julie also has a new book out that you should get,  Julie Taboulie’s Lebanese Kitchen.
