Tahini Baby: Bright, Everyday Recipes That Happen to Be Vegetarian

An irresistible celebration of veg-forward Middle Eastern- and Mediterranean-inspired recipes guaranteed to bring fresh flavors and liven up your table, from the beloved TV personality, cookbook author, and creator of Eden Eats.

For Eden Grinshpan, everyday cooking means saying yes to more shareable and delicious dishes, more veggies, and more fun in the kitchen. Tahini Baby invites you into Grinshpan’s world and offers her joyful, playful, and always forgiving approach to Middle Eastern- and Mediterranean-inspired meals. Packed with layers of tangy, tart, rich, and creamy ingredients, especially Grinshpan’s #1 fave (tahini!), these dishes lend themselves to endless mixing and matching.
From noshes and breakfast to hot new sides and boss veg, in addition to condiments, dips, and pickles that add pops of flavor, these dishes will bring ease and next-level tastiness to any and every meal. Try the Eggplant Schnitzel drizzled with Garlicky Tahini, mop up the Lemon-Braised Leek Masabacha with Za’atar Laffa, and enjoy Harissa-Roasted Cauliflower with a flavor-packed Preserved Lemon Toum. Simple-to-make desserts such as Strawberry Rhubarb Rose Tahini Crumble and Sage-Honey Semifreddo round out the perfect, satisfying dinner--or midday snack. Whether you’re throwing together a casual gathering, putting together a lunch or brunch of made-in-advance components, or feeding a family, Grinshpan’s approach to cooking is happy-making, versatile, and always guaranteed to wow.
