Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Shakshuka with feta

    • gamulholland on March 06, 2025

      Shakshuka— tasty and fast, especially if you cheat and fry the eggs separately because you’re in a hurry to get your family out the door to music practice. :)

  • Tahini Caesar salad

    • kashley1985 on January 13, 2026

      Delicious. One of my favorite recipes.

  • Sun-dried tomato orzo salad

    • sara_kwi3s0 on May 05, 2026

      I made it pretty close to as written. I did add a can of rinsed cannellini beans I didn’t have sunflower seeds so substituted pistachios. I also let the salad meld for about an hour. Added the pistachios at serving.

  • Spring orzo & pea soup

    • anne_xzj2j6 on April 17, 2026

      Easy and excellent! Fresh and light and satisfying. Next time I will add the peas and dill right in the last minute or two of cooking, as neither needs to simmer long at all and they were both a little overcooked.

  • Farro mushroom soup

    • gamulholland on March 06, 2025

      Tasty but I’d go lighter on the dairy next time.

  • Yogurt & rosemary roasted chicken thighs

    • kashley1985 on August 22, 2025

      Very good. Hit with the family

  • Lemony grilled chicken kabobs

    • Deja1 on April 03, 2025

      Very flavorful chicken. The 30 min marinate time is enough. I made grilled chicken breasts to pair with the Middle Eastern spiced quinoa from Leon - Happy Salads.

  • Apricot cardamom granola

    • fultre on February 09, 2026

      Made a simplified version—skipped sesame seeds and dried fruit. It is a nice flavor and texture. I was slightly disappointed that the tahini flavor, which was pronounced when warm, wasn’t very noticeable once cooled. Also felt it could’ve used more cardamom, maybe mine isn’t as potent as it should be.

Publishers Text

125 simple, healthy recipes that are all about marrying the Middle East to the Midwest and finding joy in the process—from the creator of the popular Feel Good Foodie blog.

During her childhood in Lebanese communities in Sierra Leone and Michigan, Yumna Jawad grew up eating home-cooked meals and learned time-saving shortcuts from her mother to prepare traditional, Middle Eastern recipes. As an adult, she started her blog Feel Good Foodie to make healthy cooking easy and helped fuel the “Baked Feta Pasta” trend that took over the internet. Now, in her first cookbook, she shares many more unfussy, healthy meals that are enhanced by Middle Eastern flavors.

These recipes will teach you exactly what her mom taught her: how to build savvy kitchen know-how that gives you the confidence to cook consistently for yourself and others. Be inspired by White Zucchini Pizza with Garlicky Labneh, Tomato Rice Pilaf, Harissa-Grilled Shrimp Skewers, Seven Spice Roast Chicken & Pomegranate Potatoes, Tahini-Glazed Cauliflower, perfect Crispy Falafel, Three-Ingredient Mango Sorbet, Zaatar Manakeesh, and my absolute favorite Olive Oil Cake, which you can enjoy alongside bright green Mint-Basil Lemonade or a homemade Rose Latte.

Jawad loves simple ingredients, fresh flavors, and finding the balance between tradition and a little innovation. But, more than anything, she loves food that makes you exclaim this phrase after one bite: “So good!”
