The Best of November: Your Most-Loved Recipes of the Month

From viral hits to comfort-food classics, here’s everything you loved (and what’s new!).

Hi foodie,

November flew by in the most delicious way possible. Between all the fall coziness, endless cooking and baking sessions, recipe testing marathons, Thanksgiving madness, and prepping for the holiday season… my kitchen basically turned into its own little universe this month. I hope your month was just as warm, flavorful, and filled with good food.

Now let’s take a quick walk through everything that happened in November, because, wow, there was a LOT.

What’s New This Month

Before we jump into the Top 10 Most Popular Recipes of November, here’s a recap of the brand-new recipes I shared this month.
If you missed any of them, now’s the perfect time to catch up:

I also refreshed more than 10 old recipes this month—new photos, clearer steps, extra tips, troubleshooting notes, updated measurements, and overall glow-ups. These are all reader favorites, so if you haven’t checked them out yet, you definitely should.

10. Chocolate Chip Cookies

Freshly updated with new tips and photos! This recipe is one of my all-time top performers, you guys bake it nonstop, and honestly, I get why. Soft, chewy, classic, perfect every time.

9. Cottage Cheese Fudge

A surprise hit! It’s going wild on my YouTube channel. High-protein, chocolatey, and ridiculously easy, no wonder everyone’s making it.

8. Pistachio Cheesecake

Always on the list, always loved, and truly for a good reason. Pistachio + cheesecake = the dream team

7. Healthy Chocolate Cake

Normally this one sits in the top 3 every single month… but let’s be honest, during the holiday season, people temporarily forget the word “healthy.” 😅 Still one of my personal favorites!

6. Torta della Nonna

I updated this recipe recently and you guys loved the new version. A true Italian classic—creamy, delicate, and perfect with a cup of coffee..

5. Cabbage Patties

Another comfort-food hit this month. Simple ingredients, crispy edges, and totally addictive. So many of you sent me photos!

4. Pavlova

A holiday-season favorite! Light, airy, crispy outside and marshmallowy inside. It always returns to the spotlight this time of year.

3. 3-Ingredient Butter Cookies

I updated this recipe just in time for Christmas baking season. You guys are obsessed—and I don’t blame you. They’re SO easy and the results are always perfect.

2. Homemade Lemon Curd

A new recipe from last month that shot straight to the top. People are making jars of it as holiday gifts (genius idea!), and I love seeing all your creations.

1. Viral Doner Kebab

Published only about a week ago and already with over 60,000 website visits and hundreds of thousands of views on social media. Truly viral, and for a VERY good reason. Thousands of people have already made it and loved it.
If you haven’t tried it yet… highly recommended!
