Sababa is a cookbook by American food writer and expat Adeena Sussman, who cooks in her Tel Aviv kitchen. In Hebrew, derived from the original Arabic, "sababa" means "everything is awesome." The book draws on the fresh ingredients and snacks of Shuk Hacarmel, her local market, and on the many influences around her in Israel.
It presents 125 recipes for Israeli-inspired dishes. Examples include Freekeh and Roasted Grape Salad, Crudo with Cherries and Squeezed Tomatoes, Schug Marinated Lamb Chops, and Tahini Caramel Tart. The recipes are written for the home cook.
The book shows how to cook with staples such as tahini, sumac, silan (date syrup), harissa and za'atar. It also introduces more unusual spices and ingredients. Personal storytelling runs throughout.
