“Finally! Eden Grinshpan is letting us in on her secrets of her healthful and deliriously delicious cooking. Giant flavors, pops of color everywhere and dishes you’ll crave forever. It’s the Eden way!”—Bobby Flay

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY DELISH AND LIBRARY JOURNAL

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 flavors, mixing and matching simple, traditional ingredients in new ways: roasted whole heads of broccoli topped with herbaceous yogurt and crunchy, spice-infused dukkah; a toasted pita salad full of juicy summer peaches, tomatoes, and a bevy 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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Eating Out Loud oozes Eden’s culinary perspective and overall hotness. From the Tahini Caesar to Lemony Mejadra with Extra, Extra-Fried Shallots, she brings new life to everyday dinner staples, making them unique to her experience and fresh to our senses.”—Antoni Porowski, bestselling author of Antoni in the Kitchen
 
“Cooking a recipe from 
Eating Out Loud is like flooding your kitchen with sunlight! The energy, warmth, and deliciousness this cookbook exudes is infectious and instantly puts me in a good mood. Eden’s food is seductive, unfussy, superfresh, and always flavor forward. Just like her! I’d happily bask in its glow from morning ’til night . . . and sop up every drop!”—Gail Simmons, food expert, TV host, and author of Bringing It Home
 
“This is the cookbook you won’t be able to put down, can cook out of every day, and comes from the heart and soul of the stunningly talented Eden Grinshpan. Deciphering the flavors and techniques of the Levant? Sure. Delicious recipes? Absolutely. And this book does more than that, taking inspiration from Eden’s childhood, where the kitchen was a safe place to express herself and passing that gift on to the readers and home cooks.”
—Andrew Zimmern, traveler, chef, writer, and teacher
 
“I have always said that my next culinary adventure would be to dive into the foods of the Middle East. Learning a new cuisine can be intimidating, but what I love about this book is that Eden gives you the basics of typical ingredients, sauces, and flavor combinations to get you started and then turns them on their head to provide her own modern and fresh approach that leaves you wanting to explore every dish in the book.”
—Missy Robbins, chef and owner of Lilia Ristorante and Misi; cofounder of Grovehouse

Come for the vegetables, stay for the sauces and condiments
I will admit, I was initially skeptical of this book when I first heard about it. I love Middle Eastern food--in fact, it is what I eat and make most often. I am also a huge salad lover and vegetable and salads are what I look for most in a cookbook. This book of course sounds like it was tailor made for someone like me, and yet I was a skeptic because I felt I already had this cuisine covered. Eventually, I broke down and the book won over and I purchased it. I have since made 17 of the recipes, with plans to make my way much further in the book. I would say a few things about this book: The book is laid out in a easy to navigate format. Each section has its own table of contents, something that I now wish more cookbooks were doing. This book really accomplishes something that I think a lot of books claim that they will do for you. It changed the way that I cooked and ate for several weeks while I made my way through the book. Instead of making a few main dishes throughout the week, I was instead making the sauces, pickles, and dips and then piecing together a few other things here and there to really create new meals each day. This allowed me to bring new life to my leftovers again and again, and there are several of her sauces that I will be coming back to over and over again, green and red zhoug to name just two. I have really loved her zest for cooking and her enthusiasm and positivity in the pages throughout the book. She has some really great ideas and flavor combinations, and I now really trust her direction--something I don't always feel even with authors that I really like. She tends to nail the seasoning, the direction on how thick to slice something for maximal flavor and crunch, and I loved her edict on the proper way to build a chicken shawarma pita (she was absolutely right). Shoutout to the honey and lemon semolina olive oil cake (that was a mouthful, and I think I messed up the proper name of this dessert), replete with cherries and a gorgeous whipped cream. This is a classic dessert that I have already made four times and really impressed people with just how delicious it is.

    I'd been hoping to find a clear path to learning how to cook Middle Eastern dishes and wanted to learn about and understand how to use some new spices. Eden's Eating Out Loud has perfectly hit the mark. Her opening sections on "Your New Middle Eastern Pantry" and "The Essentials - Sauces and Dips" got me off on a solid footing. And now I'm having great success working my way through her delicious recipes. In my first week, I've made six dishes and every one has been serious, healthy deliciousness. I especially love her "work arounds" for when you don't have all of the exact ingredients or correct cooking pieces on hand.

    Eating Out Loud is chock full of gorgeous inspiring photographs, and Eden's charming personality is clearly evident throughout. Okay, yes, I've been a fangirl for a while now... but even if weren't - I am Super Happy with this cookbook! I've already learned so much, I'm eating healthier and I'm once again having great fun playing in the kitchen!

    I cannot say enough good things about this cookbook. It has us eating more vegetables than ever - the combination of the high-heat oven roasting plus any of the delicious sauces (?) have me going for seconds and thirds on broccoli and cauliflower. And, none of these are too difficult to act as mid-week dinners when we’re burned out from work. I’ll make the chimichurri on Sunday and have it on meat and vegetables for a few days, then maybe make the herbed greek yogurt to top roasted veg or salads for a few more days. Just so, so good and things you can mostly make with what’s at in your house/at the store (at least until you’re able to stock up on some new spices!)

    I’ll be honest, I bought this book because a lot of people I follow on Instagram were raving about how good it is. Even though I collect cookbooks, I’m very choosy about what I buy and I wasn’t sure it would live up to the hype. Oh how wrong I was! This is an absolutely fabulous cookbook - interesting flavors & textures put together in a beautiful & delicious way. It’s honestly worth the price of the cookbook for the Salted Halvah Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe alone! I want to make everything in this book (very very rare I say that) and I can see making dishes from it for years to come.

    Reviewed in Germany on January 6, 2022
    Für uns geht das Buch zurück.
    Die Rezepte sind langweilig und eigentlich nur faule Versionen von den originalen Speisen. Mein arabischer Mann war extrem enttäuscht und hatte eher das Gefühl, dass die arabische Küche hier eher verschandelt wird.
    Außerdem interessiert es uns kaum, wie die Familie der Autorin aussieht - man bekommt sie aber auf jeder 2. Seite ins Gesicht gestoßen. Hat für uns kaum was mit arabischer Küche zu tun.
