I love hummus and tahini, so this tahini goes on everything philosophy works for me, It’s on salads, fish, deserts and even eggs seems a bit much but it works.

When life for the entire universe and planet turns on its end and like everyone else you "have nothing to do" while your place of work is closed and you are in #COVID19 #socialisolation,  superspeed readers like me can read 250+ pages/hour, so yes, I have read the book … and many more today. (I AM BORED!!)

I requested and received a temporary digital Advance Reader Copy of this book from #NetGalley, the publisher and the author in exchange for an honest review.  

From the publisher, as I do not repeat the contents or story of books in reviews, I let them do it as they do it better than I do 😸.

Discover a playful new take on Middle Eastern cuisine with more than 100 fresh, flavorful recipes.

"Finally! Eden Grinshpan is letting us in on her secrets of her healthful and deliriously delicious cooking."--Bobby Flay 

Eden Grinshpan's accessible cooking is full of bright tastes and textures that reflect her Israeli heritage and laid-back but thoughtful style. In Eating Out Loud, Eden introduces readers to a whirlwind of exciting flavours, mixing and matching simple, traditional ingredients in new ways: roasted whole heads of broccoli topped with herbaceous yoghurt and crunchy, spice-infused dukkah; a toasted pita salad full of juicy summer peaches, tomatoes, and a bevvy of fresh herbs; and babka that becomes pull-apart morning buns, layered with chocolate and tahini and sticky with a salted sugar glaze, to name a few. 

For anyone who loves a big, boisterous spirit both on the plate and around the table, Eating Out Loud is the perfect guide to the kind of meal--full of family and friends eating with their hands, double-dipping, and letting loose--that you never want to end.

I LOVED this book as it is food made from ingredients, not boxes of pre-made foods and Frankenfood'ss  "chicken" that has 80+ ingredients vs. one - actual chicken from a chicken. The recipes are simple but full of flavours that everyone will like. (except me and the over-use of parsley/cilantro which is a major flavour in Middle Eastern cooking ... sorry, I am so allergic!) If you are looking for some way to shake up your meals with, this book is perfect: I just wish that is was released earlier in the summer when produce is much, much cheaper.

As always, I try to find a reason to not rate with stars as I love emojis (outside of their incessant use by "🙏-ed Social Influencer Millennials/#BachelorNation survivors/Tik-Tok and YouTube  Millionaires/etc. " on Instagram and Twitter... Get a real job, people!) so let's give it 🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅
