Review
Named a Best New Cookbook of Fall 2019 by The New York Times, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, Epicurious, Eater, Forbes, Buzzfeed, and Amazon. Ms. Sussman's recipes are thoughtfully written and thoroughly tested.
-Melissa Clark, The New York Times The pages of this book ooze with [Adeena's] passion for the romance and beauty of Israeli cuisine. The recipes are soulful, elemental, and stunningly delicious.
-from the foreword by Michael Solomonov Sababa, borrowed from Arabic slang, means 'everything is awesome' and I'm here to tell you that's a pretty accurate description of Adeena Sussman's new cookbook. Go through Sababa and you'll be transported with Adeena as she ventures to her vibrant market in Tel Aviv and returns to her kitchen to make the dishes that have put Israeli cuisine on the front burner.
-Nancy Silverton Everything about this book, from its title, which promises awesomeness, to Adeena's stories about her adopted homeland, its markets, ingredients, traditions, and cooks, conspires to joy. The recipes are simple, smart, and filled with the bold, bright flavors of Israel we've come to love. That they're so easily doable is the bonus.
--Dorie Greenspan, award-winning author of Everyday Dorie and Dorie's Cookies "With Sababa, Adeena has gifted us with the kind of culinary journey that dreams are made of. Her warmth, knowledge, colorful stories, and stunningly beautiful recipes make this the type of book you want to have two of: one to read in bed at night and one to get messy with in the kitchen."
-Molly Yeh, food blogger and TV host I am so glad that Sababa is here so that I can finally taste Adeena's personal flavors from her Israeli kitchen. She has masterfully combined the food that she grew up with in the States with the dishes she serves now in her Tel Aviv kitchen. Just try Adeena's corn on the cob smothered in yogurt, feta, and za'atar--the Israeli take on Mexican street corn, or her magisterial kubbanah, the Yemenite cross between an overnight brioche and croissant. Every reader and food lover will learn how to integrate Adeena's clever ways with flavor into their own cooking.
-Joan Nathan Seeing Adeena's love and dedication to Israeli cuisine has been truly inspiring. This book captures her love for the food, culture, history, and people of Israel in an incredible way. Getting to live out her passion for Israeli cuisine in the heart of Tel Aviv (Shuk Hacarmel), she's been able to decode the cultural influences of what modern Israeli food is all about. Her warm and effortless approach makes you feel like you are in her kitchen cooking alongside her. Bright, fresh, and full of flavor, these are dishes that will easily be on repeat in your home.
-Eden Grinshpan, co-founder of DEZ and host of Top Chef Canada Adeena Sussman is a California woman who fell in love with Israel. Her knowledge of food, culture, and life in Israel has allowed her access to the inner circle of Israeli cooks, farmers, bakers, shop keepers, and others who imbibe that culture with a dazzling, multicultural cuisine. Adeena is reverent in her approach, historical in her research, and incredibly passionate in her quest to conquer the patchwork cultural makeup that defines the Israeli food landscape. Most importantly, she makes this terrific food and cuisine approachable and authentic at the same time. A delight!
-Jonathan Waxman [Sussman's] tahini caramel tart justifiably earns its parenthetical description as 'the Gal Gadot of tarts.' With this book, Sussman will most likely prove to be a new kind of Amazon warrior goddess.
-The New York Times Sababa has taught me, inspired me and fed me. You can't say better than that.
-Diana Henry, T: The New York Times Style Magazine Adeena Sussman is a force to be reckoned with...As the book's title hints -- 'sababa' is Hebrew-meets-Arabic slang for, simply, 'everything is awesome' -- readers are in for a treat.
-Eater For an American understanding of Israeli cooking, Adenna Sussman is the person to turn to...Sussman's colorful recipes, paired with peeks into her life abroad, are a journey in themselves.
-Condé Nast Traveler This book has recipes that range from intoxicating spice mixes to unfussy street food--and delivers gastronomic awesomeness.
-Forbes The perfect at-home intro to all that Israeli cuisine has to offer.
-Buzzfeed Sababa, which translates as 'everything is awesome, ' makes for an appropriate title for this outstanding collection of fresh variations on an old-world cuisine.

Sababa is a winner
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 September 2019Verified Purchase
I saw recommendations for Sababa from Instagramers that I follow and it looked interesting so I ordered it. The book arrived two days ago and I flicked through and was immediately captivated. The recipes looked so appetising and the photos are beautiful. I decided to try out three recipes last night for supper, the cabbage slaw, sumac grilled chicken and the jeweled rice. The recipes were easy to follow and worked out beautifully. The jeweled rice especially was perfect, so good and so easy to make. I’m just a home cook for my family of 5 including 3 fussy teenage girls and these dishes were so delicious, my kids loved it so that’s a winner for me and there are so many more great recipes I want to try. This is not the first cook book I’ve been rushed to buy, encouraged by influencers I follow but it’s the only one I’ve written a review for.

A feast for the eyes, a feast for the soul, a feast for the body - for yourself and as a gift
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 September 2019Verified Purchase
Sababa is authored by a dear friend of mine - so I want to declare my bias right here. But this book is genuinely, awesome. First of all, I can just stare at the pictures of the food (thankfully, there is at least one photo for each and every recipe) and my mouth waters and I just feel the pleasure of the food and colour and texture and blessed to live in a world with such easy access to such diversity and beauty. Then there are the stories and pictures of people and places and experiences that reflect Adeena's persona - open, bright, connected, warm, charming and authentic. That's Adeena and this book is a food, words and picture representation of all that is good in this crazy world. Congratulations Adeena and if you are thinking of buying this book - for yourself and/or as a gift, I can guarantee you won't be disappointed and if I could, I'd offer you your money back plus 10 quid. Enjoy a feast for the eyes and, if you cook the recipes, a feast for all who enjoy our world's bounties.

Beautifully written, ravishing photos and the recipes aren't half bad either
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 November 2019Verified Purchase
This is a beautifully written book and the photos are ravishing - of the dishes and of the Jerusalem market where the author buys so much of her produce. The recipes are uncomplicated (take note Ottolenghi) and original. Some need a little tweaking to work but it is written by someone with a real love of decent ingredients.. So, both a book for bedtime reading and for the kitchen shelf. An immensely cheering and reviving take on Middle Eastern and Jewish food. I smile every time I open it. Recommended.

Nice recipes, beautiful pictures. A bit similar to some of the Ottolenghi books but some new recipes from different areas too.
