Praise for Gursha

"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."

"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
"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
"I've been inspired by Beejhy'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
"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
"Barhany’s narrative captures the culture and history of the Beta Israel community, and her unique foodways offer recipes that are sure to delight a wide range of audiences... This is a one-of-a-kind cookbook that reflects Barhany’s life journey and introduces readers to a rich culture and its history."
