Middle Eastern Recipes

Middle Eastern food holds a special place in my heart and in my kitchen. I have spent some time in Egypt and My husband is Lebanese. I enjoy seeing that big smile when I make him some Easy And Delicious Pan Sheet Chicken Kebabs on a Thursday night! Sure, he will complain that it wasn't grilled but he eats it anyway! I am all about quick and easy, at least during the week!

If you’re new to the cuisine, start with the Middle Eastern Meatballs (Kofta Stew). It’s a hearty dish made with ground beef and lamb, potatoes, and a savory tomato broth that pairs perfectly with vermicelli rice or warm pita bread.

Hi, I'm Lola


I was born in Paris to a family of women who cooked everything from scratch, spent summers in my grandmother's kitchen in France, and later immersed myself in food culture across Egypt and the Middle East. Mediterranean cooking isn't a trend for me, it's heritage. As a mom and stepmom to four kids, I bring you recipes that are authentic and practical for real life.
