Eating Out Loud

Discover a playful new take on Middle Eastern cuisine with more than 100 fresh, flavorful recipes from the contagiously charming chef and food personality Eden Grinshpan

Having grown up in a big, boisterous Israeli family, everything happened at Eden''s family''s dinner table--singing, laughing, crying, screaming, dancing--we''re talking complete mishigas, total mashuggs. Her travels to Israel fundamentally changed the way she cooked and now, with an Israeli family of her own, her cooking is all about these beloved bold ingredients, made easy and accessible for real life--no long shopping lists or silverware required.

Healthy, fun, and playful, the dishes here are full of vibrant flavors and contrasting textures, bursting with vegetables and spices reflecting Eden''s laid-back but thoughtful approach. Eden''s cooking style is perfect for anyone who relishes the casual spirit of digging in with their hands while appreciating the elevated elegance of colorful, fresh, family-style dishes. Eating Out Loud takes readers on a journey through a whirlwind of exciting flavors, mixing and matching simple, traditional ingredients in fresh ways like Lamb Shakshuka with Lemony Yogurt, Tahini-Chocolate Babka Buns, Honey-Roasted Parsnips with Dates and Tzatziki, and Chermoula Pork Chops with Charred Shallots. Along with her gorgeous recipes, she includes a list of essentials to transform your pantry so you can elevate even the simplest dish.

When you look around the table and see your guests double-dipping, eating with their hands, and letting loose, you''ll know it''s been a successful night. That''s the spirit Eden fell in love with while living in Israel, and it''s at the heart of Eating Out Loud.
