This week, we're excited to welcome ADEENA SUSSMAN to Salt + Spine, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks.

Adeena is the author of Sababa: Fresh, Sunny Flavors from My Israeli Kitchen and has co-authored or collaborated on a dozen other cookbooks, including Chrissy Teigen's books and The Spinkles Baking Book with Candace Nelson—all New York Times best sellers.

In today's show, we're talking with Adeena about how moving to Tel Aviv and living steps from the historic and bustling Carmel Market influenced her cooking, about the trendiness of Israeli cooking in the U.S., and about how she approaches her work as a cookbook author.
