Besides being extremely well thought out and visually stunning, Citrus & Sumac gives you a look into Sara’s upbringing, family and all the recipes that shaped who she is today. All the recipes are so vibrant and fresh but most importantly, attainable for even someone who has no experience in middle eastern cooking. 10/10!
Honestly, I flip through the pages and just want to cook everything. The recipes are approachable and simple yet artsy and upscale.
Made the almond chocolate cake and it was SO good. It’s so hard to find easy, gluten free recipes and this book is full of them. 10/10.
I’m not the best cook but this book makes it so easy! Recipes are clear, ingredients are simple, and it’s all just clean, real food. Plus the photos are dreamy!
The recipes are simple but feel fancy. I made the lentil soup and it was sooo cozy and flavorful. The pictures make you want to try every dish.
A beautiful, personal cookbook. If you love supporting indie creators, Citrus & Sumac is absolutely worth it.
