During her childhood in Lebanese communities in Sierra Leone and Michigan, Yumna Jawad grew up eating home-cooked meals and learned time-saving shortcuts from her mother to prepare traditional Mediterranean recipes. Jawad initially joined Instagram to find inspiration and learn new cooking techniques, but she started creating her own content on her blog Feel Good Foodie to help make healthy cooking easy. She quickly became well-known for her unfussy, healthy meals that are elevated with Mediterranean flavors. In her debut cookbook, The Feel Good Foodie Cookbook, Jawad shares how to make even the most basic dishes feel fresh and modern by incorporating Mediterranean flavors and using easy-to-find ingredients. She teaches you how to use her eight Mediterranean staple ingredients (Seven Spice, pomegranate syrup, rose water, sumac, tahini, za'atar, dates, and labneh) to create easy dishes that are nourishing, bright, and cozy. This cookbook has 125 simple and easy recipes with fewer than 10 ingredients and less than 30 minutes of active prep. She also shares tons of tips for meal planning and prep, time-saving shortcuts, kitchen organization, and repurposing leftovers. Her recipes cover breakfast to dinner
