A cool new cook book comes out today from the founder of one of the ELLE team’s favourite lunch spots, Comptoir Libanais. If you fancy whipping up some of their rose marzipan, almond-crusteed squid, or pomegranate molasses- marinated salmon, check it out - they're tasty, healthy and – crucially –easy to make yourself.
