Reviews

“Suzy Karadsheh packs her debut cookbook with dishes we all want to be eating right now: vibrant, bold, and unfussy recipes you can make any night of the week. Recipes like the Meanest Loaded Hummus Dip, Melty Sweet Potato Rounds with Honeyed Tahini, and Date Night Crab Spaghetti have already got me hooked. If you're a lover of herbs, tangy citrus, and spices, you’ll no doubt be a fan of this book.”—Andy Baraghani, chef and author of The Cook You Want to Be

“Suzy Karadsheh’s style of cooking reminds me much of my own. She grew up in Egypt in her mother’s kitchen, and for her, the smells and flavors of Egyptian-Mediterranean cooking are memories steeped in her childhood. I visited Egypt for the first time with my daughter, and Suzy’s recipes bring me right back. I am looking forward to cooking more from this cookbook and reliving those flavors. Her recipes are straightforward and simple but carry all the complex flavors, aromas, and colors of the Mediterranean. Brava, Suzy.”—Lidia Matticchio Bastianich, bestselling author, Emmy Award-winning TV personality, and businesswoman

“By sharing everything from time-honored family dishes to brilliant updates on the classics, Suzy Karadsheh shows us how versatile, delicious, and healthy Mediterranean cooking can be. These produce-forward, super-fresh, healthy recipes will become staples in your kitchen!”—Adeena Sussman, author of Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen

“‘Eat with the seasons. Use mostly whole foods. And, above all else, share!’ enjoins food blogger Karadsheh in her vibrant debut, a generous trove of go-to recipes steeped in the Mediterranean’s diverse culinary traditions . . . This is as full of flavor as it is hospitality.”—Publishers Weekly
