Wholegrain Sourdough at Home – Book Review
A couple of weeks ago, I received a gem in the mail – the highly anticipated and bestselling Wholegrain Sourdough at Home cookbook by my dear friend and sourdough master, Elaine Boddy.

Chocoflan
Chocoflan. This sweet is as fun to eat as it to make. Being of Latin origin, it was often on my dessert table during the holidays, particularly New Year’s Eve. I remember the expressions of joy on my relatives’ faces as they spotted it amongst the plethora of sweets being served. When it comes to…
Migliaccio – Ricotta and Semolina Cheesecake
Migliaccio is a rustic ricotta and semolina cheesecake that hails from the Italian city of Naples. Made with aromatic notes of vanilla and orange, it is the perfect treat for the chilly months that lie ahead. The use of ricotta makes for a light and fluffy texture distinct from the original cheesecake. And semolina provides…
Vegetarian Kofta (“Meatballs”) with Tahini
These meatless vegetable-based “meatballs” or vegetarian koftas were the result of requests that I often get to develop more plant-based recipes based on traditional Palestinian dishes. I always welcome such requests because this is the kind of food that I enjoy eating the most. It does not get better than wholesome, feel-good, satisfying food that…

Istanbul Culinary Diaries
Sometimes we go to places that bring us memories we didn’t know we had; places that teach us more about who we are and what we are meant to do. Travel could not have a more important purpose. My most recent culinary journey was to Turkey, where I was taken away by the energy of…
Basbousa Bil Joz – Semolina Pastry Stuffed with Walnuts
In Lebanon, there is a rich semolina pastry known as ma’moul mad (a fragrant semolina cookie bar filled with nuts, date paste, or clotted cream.) In other parts of the Levant, a similar concept is called basbousa bil joz (semolina cake stuffed with walnuts.) In Gaza, for example, kunafa ghazawiya or kunafa arabiya is the…
Koshari – Egyptian Pasta, Lentil, and Rice Dish
Koshari is a popular Egyptian street food consisting of hearty lentils, chickpeas, pasta, rice, warm spices, and deeply caramelized onions. It has made its way to kitchens across the Levant and is considered a staple throughout the region. It is difficult not to like a dish with so many desirable flavors. The ingredients are everything…
