Middle Eastern Recipes

Welcome to my collection of Middle Eastern recipes, inspired by the comforting dishes I grew up with and still cook for my family today. Most of these recipes are authentic and passed down through generations, while some are modern renditions of the flavours I love the most.

You’ll find fragrant rice dishes like Chicken Mandi and Maqluba, classic must-makes like Iraqi Dolma and Lamb Haneeth, as well as weeknight-friendly favourites such as Spicy Arayes, Halal Cart Chicken, and a Quick Spinach Stew.

Whether you’re new to Middle Eastern cooking or looking for reliable, family-approved recipes, this collection brings together traditional flavors and approachable techniques you’ll want to return to again and again.
