Gursha

Praise

“I couldn’t be more excited to celebrate Beejhy’s recipes, which offer such a delicious and meaningful glimpse into the Diaspora. Having been lucky enough to experience many of these dishes firsthand at her table, I can’t wait to bring these flavors into my own kitchen!” —JAKE COHEN, New York Times bestselling author of Jew-ish and I Could Nosh
 
“I’ve been inspired by Beehjy’s cooking for years. I could not be more thrilled that now she is sharing her unique take on Ethiopian Jewish cuisine with the world.” —LEAH KOENIG, author of The Jewish Cookbook
 
“Beejhy’s story is one for the ages. In this gorgeous and richly layered cookbook, her story is told with heart, fierceness, and pride. Delicious recipes are interwoven with gorgeous photography and intimate stories that deepen our understanding and respect for the Ethiopian Jewish experience. Reading this beautiful book taught me volumes about hos­pitality, deepened my understanding of this important piece of our history—and made me want to start cooking immediately.” —ADEENA SUSSMAN, author of Shabbat and Sababa
 
“In its evocative pages, Gursha reminds us that no community is a monolith, including those of us in the Jewish Diaspora. Beejhy Barhany’s first book speaks not just to the power of storytelling, but also of who gets to tell their own stories.” —JULIA TURSHEN, New York Times bestselling cookbook author
 
“The journey of the Ethiopian Jewish community is a story worth telling, and Beejhy is a natural advocate for it. Their rich history is complemented by the soulful food that show­cases how diverse Jewish food truly is.” —EINAT ADMONY, author of Balaboosta and coauthor of Shuk
