DADA EATS LOVE TO COOK IT

Samah Dada

100 Plant-Based Recipes for Everyone at Your Table

100+ meals and treats with accidentally plant-based energy, all made with natural, unprocessed ingredients, all easy and indulgent, from rising star Samah Dada.
Samah Dada doesn't buy into the all-or-nothing mentality of healthy eating. By using real, unprocessed ingredients in surprising ways, she shows you how to have your cake and eat it too - because it's actually made out of chickpeas.

Her food is often vegan, allergen-free, gluten-free, grain-free, and Whole30-compliant because she's only using the most nutritious ingredients, not because she's cutting out food groups to follow the latest fad. Her creative use of plants gives us drool-worthy dishes like her viral hits Brookie Pie and Chocolate Chip Tahini Cake with Chocolate Frosting, as well as One Banana Only Muffin Tops, Pancake Bread, Cauliflower Cacio e Pepe, and Masala Mac and Cheese.

And she draws on her Indian roots for dishes like Spicy Eggplant Masala and the Best Dal Ever that come together in record time. Chocolate Chip Chickpea Blondies, Coconut Sugar Halva Strawberry Crumble Bars, and Marbled Chocolate Tahini Loaf Cake rely on unprocessed sugars, legumes, and grain-free flours, but they still satisfy every sweet tooth as you learn how to use these healthy ingredients for maximum flavor and joy.

Samah Dada is a New York City-based recipe developer, food photographer, and the blogger behind Dada Eats (instagram.com/dadaeats). Inspired by the foodscapes of London and California, she has made multiple appearances on the Today Show and is now the host of NBC's Digital Show #Cooking with Samah Dada.

Samah Dada is a star. Her recipes rock, and her mind-set about cooking is just where you want to be. You will especially love 'eating your vegetables' Samah's way.

[A] must-have recipe collection... Drawing on her Indian heritage, Dada presents inventive recipes for a variety of occasions, often using ingredients in new ways (particularly spices or condiments, like cumin, turmeric, and tahini)... A winning debut that will delight home chefs looking to build cooking confidence or reinvent humble meals.

Samah's story and food will uplift and inspire. So bright, passionate, and approachable this cookbook is not just a series of beautiful recipes but a life story that will inspire and encourage anyone who is obsessed with food and looking to make it their career. Samah's food is healthy, happy, and totally welcoming. I love it and I just know I will be going back to this book over and over again. Congrats, Samah!

Samah has inspired me to delve into simple gluten-free desserts like I never thought I would before. When I'm looking for something quick that doesn't use refined sugars and refined flour, Samah is the person I turn to. Her desserts are really decadent, so you don't feel like you're missing out either. My two go-tos are the Chocolate Chip Cookie Pie and the Cookie Dough Truffles - so delicious and easy to make, I can't get enough!

When Samah walked onto the Today set, we knew she was special. Back then, she was just our bright-eyed page, enthusiastically delivering our news scripts with warmth and efficiency. Little did we know she was harboring a major secret talent: She is a creative baking genius! Her delicious treats would arrive on our desks, and we would happily gobble them up, not even realizing they weren't just delicious - they were healthy too. From her first on-air appearance on Today, a star was born. She has been unstoppable ever since. I'm not surprised her scrumptious and irresistible treats have made it into the pages of her first cookbook. Open the pages and see why, for all of us, it was love at first sight and first bite for Samah!

In her debut cookbook, Samah Dada brings the fun, warm spirit we've come to love on social media and television to the page. Filled with creative, irresistible recipes, Dada Eats Love to Cook It will bring new energy into your kitchen.

Plant-based treats never looked so good. Samah makes it easy to take the guilt out of guilty pleasure.

Chocoholics will devour the dessert chapter, which serves up numerous cocoa-forward fare, including a vegan chocolate chip tahini cake and date caramel fudge brownies. This turns the idea of healthier cooking into an indulgent affair.
