get this food in your hands (and belly) today 🤎

Feb 28, 2025

have I mentioned lately that I have a brand new book jam-packed with divine, veg-forward recipes coming out in TWO MONTHS?! or that pre-orders are kiiiiind of a big deal in the cookbook world?

well…maybe I have. but I know I haven’t told you the best part:

when you preorder TAHINI BABY, you’ll get FIVE bonus recipes ahead of the book’s publication date (on April 22!)

these bonus recipes were so fun to develop. they started as inklings of ideas that I didn’t have the time to fully flesh out while creating 100+ recipes for this book and it was so exciting to finally see them through.

the five bonus recipes included are:

creamy polenta with roasted tomato and chickpeas (boss veg, always - it’s so so full of flavor and requires minimal effort)
kohlrabi, apple, and fennel slaw (the dream combo of flavors that gets tossed with lots of herbs and will brighten any table)
cardamom sugar babka (like a cross between a classic baka and Swedish cardamom buns that everyone has been freaking over)
coriander crunch herbed rice (a mashup of the amazing Persian-inspired rice dishes I’ve fallen in love with over the years)
Turkish potato dumplings with yogurt and aleppo butter (shockingly easy to make + incredibly hard to stop eating. can’t wait for you to try that gorgeous spiced butter!)

how to get the recipes:

that bountiful, colorful TAHINI BABY table is only two months in your future and you can get your first taste now by filling out THIS FORM.

step 1: click this link.

step 2: enter your info + upload your preorder receipt (note: it doesn’t matter where you ordered – or when – you’ll be eligible to receive these bonus recipes!)

step 3: download the PDF (on the confirmation page after you fill out the form) and live, laugh, cook your way into the TAHINI BABY universe ✨

AND THAT’S NOT ALL!

as a token of my gratitude to my Substack community, all newsletter subscribers who preorder will also get THREE bonus dip recipes + the Jerusalem Bagel recipe.

follow the same steps above with THIS LINK (you need to fill out both forms to get all 9 recipes). and then…ta-da! dips. for. days.

the exclusive dips pack includes:

DEZ’s beet hummus (a star dish from the menu of the restaurant I had in NYC once upon a time)
roasty-toasty eggplant, tomato, and red pepper dip (need I say more?!)
labaneh with confit fennel and garlic (this one truly transports you to a sunny paradise…it’s SO good.

and mop up all these dips with my Jerusalem bagel dinner rolls from TAHINI BABY. they’re honestly perfect – so fluffy, nutty, and the ideal vessel for anything you put on it.

so excited to get these recipes in your hands and bellies. enjoy!!

i’m done gushing (for now) but just know that i’m over-the-moon excited to share this book with you & to join you in the kitchen soon. grateful for all of you and your unwavering support.

please share this with anyone you think would LOVE these flavors and recipes. let’s be tahini babies together!!

xo,
