The Spanish Garlic Shrimp is quick to make, loaded with garlic, and perfect with a side of greens or cauliflower mash. I personally fail at not dipping bread in that yummy sauce, but maybe you are better than me? Poulet Yassa (Senegalese Chicken Stew) is another one you should definitely try! It's on a regular rotation in my house!

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.
