At this point I've had the cookbook for several months and love several things about it. I love the explanation of ingredients early on in the book. It got me excited to explore and collect new spices for my kitchen. The layout reminds me of Gjelina by Travis Lett where it starts with condiments and spice mixes. I appreciate Adeena's amba shortcut and I love that some of these recipes for condiments can come alive in purpose outside this book. Some of the recipes are such hits that every time I make them my husband is amazed- like the honey harissa chicken. It's so easy, stupid easy, and it wows every time.
The recipes are well laid out, easy to follow, and very thorough. I've followed the instructions and always gotten great results. I think the only recipe I've struggled with is the pita and probably just because bread/baking can be tricky. I plan to watch some youtube videos and revisit. Overall, I cannot live without this book.
There's an honesty and closeness that Adeena writes with. She gives short background for each recipe that is actually helpful and gives some context but it's short and leaves you craving more info...which is good! She's brilliant, the book is brilliant, and again can't stress enough that I can't live without it.

This cookbook has revolutionized the way my family eats. When I first opened it and perused it, I thought there were some nice ideas but honestly thought, ‘why is there such a big condiment/spice blend section to this book?’ I’m a working mom with little time to make mini recipes for only one dinner. Or so I thought.
I started out slow, and the first recipe I made from the book was the Pt’itim with cinnamony Smokey eggplant. I was blown away. The flavor combinations and the clarity of instruction were amazing. It was a sophisticated dish that my entire family loved and I could put together on a weeknight. I turned the page and decided that the lentils with crispy leeks was the next task—and it requires making baharat spice mix. ‘Fine,’ I thought. I can make a dry spice mix. Another amazing dish with unique and sophisticated flavors and easy to follow directions. Ok, Adeena, I’m paying attention...
Over the past few months I’ve tried a number of recipes and really only had one fail, which I am sure was my own fault. I have been willing to try recipes that I was skeptical about because of how well the other recipes I’ve tried have turned out. I have learned new techniques and, following the detailed and careful instructions written so well, have impressed my friends, family, and most importantly, myself.
This cookbook has made my shopping list explode with bunches of produce, the majority of which is available at my local grocery or farmers market when I have time to go. So many vegetables have joined our family diet and helped us all lose weight naturally.
Over time I have challenged myself to make condiments and pickle vegetables and found out how satisfying it is! I never thought I would be the person who owns canning jars and pickling weights, yet here I am! I honestly find it therapeutic to make harissa, amba, schug and confit!
My family is Israeli so a lot of these flavors were already very familiar to me. Being able to recreate them at home for my husband and son has been such a blessing. I can honestly say that there is many a night I prefer to stay home and experiment with this book rather than go to a restaurant.
Please please please make a sequel, Adeena. There are more things we need to learn!
