Reviews"Alia and Radwa have created a masterpiece debut cookbook. They effortlessly teach that food can be delicious, healthy, and beautiful, even when life is hectic. I'll be dreaming about their lemon ricotta pancakes until further notice!" --Giada De Laurentiis "I have been a fan of Alia and Radwa's for quite some time. Their fun approach to food and their connection to their roots is what drew me in--and their first cookbook gives the reader just that: beautiful Mediterranean recipes that you can easily re-create in your own kitchen. That's Pretty Delicious , if you ask me." --Tiffani Thiessen, actress and cookbook author of Here We Go Again and Pull Up a Chair "This book is truly a magical gateway to a world of deliciousness and a perfect introduction for those excited to learn more about Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and Egyptian cuisines. The recipes are an ideal combination of new and classic flavors, and each photo is stunning. I am sure you will enjoy every bite!" --Betül Tunç, baker and author of Turkuaz Kitchen "Alia and Radwa have a guiding mission: to make life easier one recipe at a time. With Pretty Delicious , they expanded that idea into a simple and insanely flavorful way to cook with all of my favorite Mediterranean, Egyptian, and Levant-centric flavors. Enjoy the culture trip from Food Dolls, and don't sleep on that fava bean salad or tahini ice cream, either." --Andrew Zimmern, traveler, chef, writer, and teacher "Alia and Radwa have created a gorgeous collection of recipes for every mood and time of day that is both accessible and beautiful. The Double-Duty Dips chapter is worth buying the book for alone . . . what wouldn't you want to put Roasted-Tomato Baba G or Baba's Tahina Sauce on? Pretty Delicious will inspire you to plant your Mediterranean roots--and have great fun doing it." --Kat Ashmore, creator of Kat Can Cook and New York Times bestselling author of Big Bites
