From My Family to Yours: The Recipe I’ve Made 500+ Times

Plus: 8 newly updated recipes for summer you’ll love

Hi foodie,

I have something special to share this week.

Seven years ago, I published a Shakshuka recipe on my blog—the one I’ve made more than any other dish in my life. We grew up eating it weekly, always with a warm pita on the side and our mom’s special twists. It’s pure comfort food, and it still brings me back to those cozy family mornings.

This week, I gave that recipe a full makeover: new video, new photos, and an improved step-by-step recipe. Whether it’s your first time making shakshuka or your 100th, I hope it brings joy to your table too.

And that’s not all—I've updated 8 more favorites for you to rediscover, just in time for summer!

Shakshuka

Updated video, new photos & better than ever

Eggs poached in a rich, spiced tomato and pepper sauce—this is the shakshuka I grew up on. It’s fast, comforting, and perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Serve it with warm, fluffy pita bread and make it your own with your favorite toppings.
