Cookbooks
Bayyinah’s culinary journey began with the release of her debut cookbook, Gimme That Recipe: A Diva's Cookbook of Her Family's Favorite Ethnic Dishes, in 2015. The book received critical acclaim, quickly becoming an Amazon bestseller and gaining traction across social media for its bold flavors and heartfelt storytelling. Featuring traditional comfort foods from a variety of global cuisines, the cookbook celebrates cultural heritage while highlighting the shared threads that connect kitchens around the world.
In the fall of 2017, Bayyinah followed up with Gimme That Smoothie Recipe!, a vibrant collection of 25 nourishing smoothie recipes designed to support health and wellness. This title also earned Amazon bestseller status in the New Releases category.
Her cookbook series has since expanded to include seasonal favorites such as Gimme That Recipe Christmas Cookbook, Spring Cookbook, and Thanksgiving Cookbook—each offering delicious, soul-satisfying recipes to celebrate life’s most cherished moments.
Relationship Book
Complementing her passion for comfort and healthy foods, Bayyinah also shares practical wisdom on love and relationships. In late 2017, she released her third book, Gimme Some Relationship Advice: How to Find Love and Keep It, offering insightful guidance on attracting and maintaining healthy, fulfilling relationships.
Gimme That Recipe! Seasonings
Recognizing a demand for high-quality ethnic seasonings, Bayyinah introduced Gimme That Recipe! Seasonings in January 2020, featuring two signature spice blends inspired by her debut cookbook. Made with all-organic ingredients and produced in a state-of-the-art facility, the seasonings quickly became a #1 New Release—available on this website, Walmart, Amazon, and select retailers across the northeastern U.S.
Holiday Pie Shop
In Fall 2024, Gimme That Recipe! launched the Holiday Pie Shop, inspired by the viral success of it's pies on social media. Originally planning to sell just 100 pies, the overwhelming response led to over 500 pies sold—marking a sweet and memorable debut season.
