Beejhy Barhany
Gursha: Timeless Recipes for Modern Kitchens from Ethiopia, Israel, Harlem, and Beyond

Gursha, which loosely translates as the act of “feeding one another” is the debut cookbook by Ethiopian Israeli chef and restaurateur Beejhy Barhany, cowritten with food writer Elisa Ung. Barhany traces her life from childhood in Tigray, Ethiopia, to exile in Sudan, then on to Israel, and ultimately settling in Harlem, New York, where she founded Tsion Café. Through personal essays and stories, she frames her recipes in the context of Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jewish) history and identity. Her work includes over 100 recipes, legamat (Sudanese doughnuts), and shakshuka, as well as hybrids like Berbere Fried Fish, Injera, and Queen of Sheba Chocolate Cake.

Cost: $10
Featuring a sampling of the author’s recipes
