"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, Adeena 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."
–Publishers Weekly, starred review
