“When Samah walked onto the Today set, we knew she was special. 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 book and see why, for all of us, it was love at first sight and first bite for Samah!”—Savannah Guthrie, New York Times bestselling coauthor of Princesses Wear Pants and coanchor of NBC’s Today
