Cookbook

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 Eden’s world and offers her joyful, playful, and always forgiving approach to Middle Eastern and Mediterranean–inspired meals. Packed with tangy, tart, rich, and creamy ingredients, especially Eden’s #1 fave (tahini!), these dishes lend themselves to endless mixing and matching.

From noshes and breakfast to boss veggie sides and hearty mains, as well as condiments, dips, and pickles that add pops of glorious flavor, these dishes will bring ease and exciting flavors to any and every meal. Try the Eggplant Schnitzel drizzled with Garlicky Tahini, mop up the Golden Amba Pepper Sauce Za’atar with Laffa, and enjoy Harissa-Roasted Cauliflower with a flavor-packed Preserved Lemon Toum. Strawberry Rhubarb Rose Tahini Crumble and Sage-Honey Semifreddo provide the perfect, satisfying ending to any dinner. Whether you’re throwing together a casual dinner party, putting together a lunch or brunch of made-in-advance components, or feeding a family, Eden’s way of veg cooking is happy-making, versatile, and always guaranteed to wow.

As we come across books that are described as having Jewish main characters, we add them to this database. The creators of the Jewish Genre Reading Challenge have not read all (or even most) of the books in this database. We have gathered information from many sources and not all may be accurate. Inclusion of a book in our database does not imply endorsement or approval. There is always the possibility that antisemitism may be present in a book, either written into a character's experience or through malicious or ignorant caricature or stereotypical portrayal of Jewish characters and culture. Please take care of yourselves as you read.

Please let us know if you encounter a book in this database that does not have a Jewish main character, if you have corrections or additions for a book's genre categories, or if you have any other concerns about the inclusion of a particular book in this database.
