Notes about Recipes in this book

• Shakshuka with feta

  • gamulholland on March 06, 2025

    Shakshuka— tasty and fast, especially if you cheat and fry the eggs separately because you’re in a hurry to get your family out the door to music practice. :)

• Labneh-stuffed charred peppers

  • Carriejean76 on June 08, 2026

    We have made these many times- easy and delicious. They pair well with chicken and beef. I add Aleppo pepper to the cheese mixture. It does run out some while baking but it is so good!

• Halloumi bruschetta

  • cookingbychapter on June 10, 2026

    These were great! I grated the garlic on a microplane. Will definitely enjoy all summer!

• Tahini Caesar salad

  • kashley1985 on January 13, 2026

    Delicious. One of my favorite recipes.

• Sun-dried tomato orzo salad

  • sara_kwi3s0 on May 05, 2026

    I made it pretty close to as written. I did add a can of rinsed cannellini beans I didn’t have sunflower seeds so substituted pistachios. I also let the salad meld for about an hour. Added the pistachios at serving.

• Spring orzo & pea soup

  • anne_xzj2j6 on April 17, 2026

    Easy and excellent! Fresh and light and satisfying. Next time I will add the peas and dill right in the last minute or two of cooking, as neither needs to simmer long at all and they were both a little overcooked.

• Farro mushroom soup

  • gamulholland on March 06, 2025

    Tasty but I’d go lighter on the dairy next time.

• Yogurt & rosemary roasted chicken thighs

  • kashley1985 on August 22, 2025

    Very good. Hit with the family

• Lemony grilled chicken kabobs

  • Deja1 on April 03, 2025

    Very flavorful chicken. The 30 min marinate time is enough. I made grilled chicken breasts to pair with the Middle Eastern spiced quinoa from Leon - Happy Salads.

• Apricot cardamom granola

  • fultre on February 09, 2026

    Made a simplified version—skipped sesame seeds and dried fruit. It is a nice flavor and texture. I was slightly disappointed that the tahini flavor, which was pronounced when warm, wasn’t very noticeable once cooled. Also felt it could’ve used more cardamom, maybe mine isn’t as potent as it should be.
