The Cookbook
Gursha — The Balè Moya Cookbook, Vol. 1
Our first cookbook is almost ready — a love letter from the Ethiopian kitchen. The recipes our mothers first taught us, the spices that carry them, and the stories that make every dish worth sharing. Written, photographed, and designed to sit beautifully on your counter and even better in your hands.
The recipes
From doro wot to teff waffles — the classics done right, plus the everyday dishes Ethiopians actually cook, each with the technique explained the way family teaches it.
The pantry
A full guide to berbere, mitmita, niter kibbeh, and friends — what each one is, how to use it, and how to build your Ethiopian shelf one jar at a time.
The culture
Gursha, gebeta, buna — the rituals of the shared table, woven between the recipes, because in Ethiopia the food and the gathering were never separate things.
Be first at the table
The final edition is being prepared now — digital and print.
