Purchase options and add-ons
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From Melissa Ben-Ishay—the co-founder of Baked by Melissa and creator of the viral Green Goddess Salad—comes an irresistible, veggie-packed cookbook with over 100 flavorful, nourishing recipes to inspire you to eat delicious meals that make you feel great.
When Melissa Ben-Ishay, the co-founder and CEO of bite-size cupcake empire Baked by Melissa, posted her vegan Green Goddess Salad on TikTok, it became a viral sensation. The recipe exploded online, gaining over 25 million views, landing Melissa on the TODAY Show, and inspiring fans like Cardi B and Lizzo to make their own version of the salad.
After the success of the Green Goddess Salad, Melissa continued to share her finely chopped, vegetable-focused recipes and inspired millions of fans to eat more greens with her flavorful, fresh creations. The meals all highlight Melissa’s food philosophy: if you get your nourishment from mealtime, you can absolutely indulge in dessert every day, just like she does.
In Come Hungry, Melissa shares her favorite everyday recipes and tips for creating nourishing, delicious meals the whole family will love. With flavorful ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, Melissa encourages home cooks of all levels to cook outside of their comfort zones and reveals her go-to techniques for creating the perfect bite. Packed with colorful, craveable recipes, Come Hungry offers a wide range of simple dishes for any diet, including:
- Mediterranean Grain Salad
- Coffee Shop Sesame Chicken Salad
- Crunchy Ramen Slaw with Grilled Ribeye
- Green Veggie Pizza
- Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake
From her grandmother’s kitchen in the Catskills to her in-laws’ home on the Mediterranean, Melissa features recipes inspired by meals that have shaped her as a cook and promote a veggie-packed way of eating, from mouthwatering toasts topped with leftovers to filling a pita with flavorful small plates. Ultimately, each and every recipe encourages creativity in the kitchen and invites the reader—as Melissa’s family says to guests on their way for dinner—to come hungry.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2024I started following Melissa on Instagram after I made the green goddess salad and fell in love with her content!!! Of course I had to get her cookbook!! Job well done 👏👏 it’s stunning and I love that she shares some insights about her passion for food along with beautiful family photos!
My favorite thing about this book is how every recipe has a beautiful, vibrant picture to show you what you are making!! I hate cookbooks that do not have corresponding photos to their recipes.
I like that the recipes are simple and straightforward and mostly all on one page… I find recipes that have too many steps become overwhelming and difficult to follow, you won’t find that here.
The back of the book is also full of good useful kitchen knowledge and tips.
You can really tell she put her heart and soul into making this book and I’m so proud to own my own copy and start making all the delicious meals 😋
Thank you 🙏

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024Not only is this cook book well photographed but it is so easy to follow. Ingredients are simple and easy to find. So far everything I have made has turned out perfect and Oh so yummmy!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2024These are simple recipes for cooks who like a lot of flavor and who like to please everyone at the table. The ingredients are easy to find and everything is packed with veggies (except maybe the desserts). Nearly all of the recipes use very nutritious ingredients (again, except some decadent desserts), and are mindful of protein intake, even plant based protein and nutritional yeast. What I love most is some recipes even use shortcuts of premade things from the grocery store, so these recipes are great for weeknights and parents, and really anyone who likes nutritious meals but doesn’t have hours to meal prep in the kitchen. This is my favorite cookbook right now and will be for a long time to come.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024If you LOVE pictures, stories & easy to follow recipes, this is the book for you!
This by far is my all time favorite veggie/salad cookbook EVER! I absolutely love food that is rich in flavor, eye pleasing & aromatic! This hits it all!
The best part about this book is that there is a picture for every single recipe... Sometimes even more! Just looking at all the pictures makes my mouth water!
The next best part, and probably tied for 1st, is that there is an AMAZING description of how the recipe came to be! I love how Melissa shares about her ENTIRE family, the history of the recipe and her memories of each dish.
The recipes are amazingly simple & easy to follow. Most ingredients, if not all, you'll have in your fridge or pantry already! Plus, Melissa encourages you to go outside the box & try new things, adding extra veggies here or there & using what you already have so nothing goes to waste!
Truly the most remarkable cookbook ever!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2024This is as DELICIOUS cookbook! I love how fresh, simple, and nutritious all of the recipes are. I bought because it felt like Israeli flavors and simple recipes to create. Big fan!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024Trying to be healthier for the new year and this book was my jumpstart. Unique and easy recipes that even my children will eat!
- Reviewed in the United States on September 16, 2024Love this book. Easy recipes, healthy and eye appealing!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024I have made four or five recipes already and LOVE them. Even when I thought a recipe might be just okay, the flavors she combined were so delicious! I jave made several things on repeat. I also love that many of the recipes use the same ingredients but in different ways. I save money by using up everything I have bought AND even though recipes may use similar ingredients, the final products have very different flavor profiles. I even made tofu for the first time! Her recipes: So good. So fresh. Highly recommend- especially if you love veggies and grains.
