It’s the season of giving, and homemade sweets are often my gift of choice. This homemade Dubai Chocolate is a beloved fan favorite, so much so it was nominated for the TikTok Awards this year! Making it homemade is well worth it, especially with quality ingredients, and I’m sure your family and friends will love it.
 
Dubai Chocolate
 
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups kataifi
1 tbsp peanut oil (optional)
1 heaping cup (320g) pistachio cream
1/4 cup crushed pistachios (optional)
250g high quality chocolate (66% cocoa or to your preference)
 
Instructions:
Using a sharp knife, cut the kataifi into small pieces as in the IG reel. Add into a medium pan over low heat, toast the kataifi slowly, stirring occasionally. When the color becomes a light golden, add peanut oil (optional) and continue to toast until crisp and golden brown. Set aside.

Melt the chocolate over a bain marie. Remove from the heat and let sit while mixing the kataifi mixture.
 
Once the kataifi is room temp, add into a medium bowl with the pistachio cream and crushed pistachios. Mix together until fully combined.
 
Pour the melted chocolate into the mold, tilt to coat the bottom and sides, and then flip over to allow the excess to drip out. Immediately place into the freezer for around 10 minutes just until set. If the chocolate looks too thin, repeat this process one more time on top of the first layer of chocolate.
 
Divide the kataifi mixture in two and spread evenly over both sides of the chocolate bar. Pour the remaining chocolate over the top and use a straightedge to smooth the surface. Return to the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until set.
 
Carefully remove from the mold and wrap with parchment paper. Serve immediately or store in the fridge. Let sit at room temp for a few minutes before serving.
 
Bon appetit!

We are still continuing our sandwich series, but I still have to edit the next video!😊 In the meantime, enjoy this rich chocolate treat in the form of Chocolate Basque Cheesecake.

A chicken caesar salad wrap is the perfect summer lunch or dinner—it’s filling, delicious, and portable for picnics or beach days. I’ve given this popular dish a Turkish twist by cooking the chicken döner style! The aromatic spices with the bright, creamy Caesar salad make for a dish packed with plenty of flavor.

Chicken Caesar Döner Wrap
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
1 small onion liquid
2 ½ lbs chicken thigh
¼ cup plain yogurt
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 clove garlic
1 tsp paprika
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp cumin
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp onion powder
1 tbsp salt
 
For the Caesar Salad:
2 flat anchovies
1 ½ tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp lemon zest
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup olive oil
1 medium garlic clove, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire
1 tsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup of freshly grated parmesan cheese
2 heads of romaine lettuce, chopped
1 cup of toasted breadcrumbs or croutons
 
For Assembly:
Spicy Chipotle Flour Tortillas* or large tortillas of your choice
 
Instructions:
Prepare the Chicken: In a medium bowl, add onion liquid, chicken thighs, yogurt, tomato paste, olive oil, garlic, paprika, black pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Using a spoon or your hands, combine all ingredients well and mix until the chicken is fully coated. Refer to the process detailed in my previous chicken döner recipe for hand preparation or use a vertical spit/skewer.
 
Stack the marinated chicken thighs on the skewer, leaving enough space for a large chunk of  onion at the top as in the IG reel. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 2 to 4 hours in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 400F. Place the vertical skewer into the oven, reducing the temperature to 375F. Cook for 1 hour, rotating the plate every 30 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 350F and continue to cook for 40-45 minutes until internal temperature reaches 160-165F. Remove from the oven. To serve, use a sharp knife to shave thin slices of the edges of the chicken.*

It’s hard to come up with new but simple dinner ideas that will please everyone, but I was inspired by English jacket potatoes and meatball subs and found another delicious way to use meatballs and sauce that your family is sure to love. The potatoes are baked, mixed with melty cheese, and topped with juicy meatballs, tomato sauce, and more cheese! This recipe itself makes extra sauce and meatballs, so you can use them for another meal.
 
Baked Potatoes with Meatballs
 
Ingredients:
 
For the Baked Potatoes:
4-6 large russet potatoes, washed and dried
1 ½ tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
 
For the Meatballs*:
1 1/2 lb ground beef
1 small onion (coarsely grated, lightly squeezed)
2 cloves of garlic (minced)
1 egg
3/4 cup stale breadcrumbs
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
1 tsp paprika
1/4 cup fresh parsley (chopped)
Oregano (optional)
 
For the Sauce*:
4 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion (diced)
2 garlic (minced)
1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
1 1/4 cups water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp fresh basil leaves
 
For Assembly:
4-6 tbsp butter
1 cup shredded mozzarella
Salt and pepper to taste
Freshly grated parmesan cheese
Fresh basil Leaves
 
Instructions:
 
Prepare the Potatoes: Preheat the oven to 500°F. Drizzle the potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt, rubbing to ensure the entire surface is covered. Wrap the potatoes individually in foil and place them on the middle rack of the oven. Bake until very tender, 55 to 65 minutes or until their internal temperature reaches 210F.
 
Meanwhile, prepare the Meatballs and Sauce: In a large bowl, add ground beef, onion, garlic, egg, stale breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, tomato paste, salt, pepper, paprika, parsley, and oregano, if desired, and mix everything until well combined. Using a teaspoon or small spoon, divide the ground beef and roll each into a small ball. Place the balls on baking sheets and repeat the process with all of the beef mixture.

Here is a video that is very special to me. This Pain au Chocolat recipe was one of the earliest ones that went viral, and since then, I’ve retested it many times to create the perfect version of it. That version actually made it into my cookbook! I hope you try this recipe, I’ve made it as simple as possible—but the result will still impress all your loved ones ❤️

Continuing our Valentine’s series, there’s nothing quite as special as a fresh loaf of crusty and warm Sourdough Bread. Bright Raspberry Jam and tangy Homemade Mascarpone make for a beautiful and festive presentation for a Valentine’s Day breakfast. For the Sourdough, I just used my basic recipe (updated version coming to my website soon!) and folded raspberry powder in the dough and topped with additional powder.
 
Sourdough Bread with Raspberry Jam and Homemade Mascarpone
 
Ingredients:
For the Mascarpone Cheese: 
750ml heavy cream (not-ultra-pasteurized cream is ideal, but it is hard to find)
17g lemon juice
 
For the Raspberry Jam:
6 oz fresh raspberries
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice
 
Instructions:
Prepare the Mascarpone Cheese: In a medium saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium-high heat to 195F (if you don’t have a thermometer, bring it just to a simmer). Once the cream reaches the desired temperature, add the lemon juice. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook for 14-15 min, stirring constantly until thickened. You can test by coating the back of a wooden spoon with the cream mixture; if you can draw a line with your finger on the cream on the back of the spoon and the line stays clear as in the reel, it is ready. Remove from the heat and place the cream saucepan over ice water. Let cool for 5-6 min, stir occasionally.
 
Fill a strainer with a double layer of cheesecloth and place a bowl under the strainer.
Pour the cream into the cheesecloth and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours until thickened. (I refrigerated it for 32 hours for an even better texture.) You can store it in the refrigerator for 7-8 days. 
 
Prepare the Jam: In a small saucepan over medium heat, add fresh raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice. Mash the raspberries with a wooden spoon and continue to cook while stirring for 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until thick and jammy. Turn off the heat and let cool before using. You can store in a container in the fridge for 4-7 days.
 
Serve the spreads with thick slices of fresh sourdough bread and enjoy.
 
Bon appétit!

Nothing says Fourth of July more than burgers and hotdogs, and these Double Cheeseburgers are even better than your favorite burger joint’s. Caramelized onions and a homemade burger sauce take them to the next level, especially if you decide to make your own burger buns! I’ve prepared these burgers indoors, but feel free to fire up the grill for the full summer experience.
 
Double Cheeseburgers with Caramelized Onions and Burger Sauce

 
Ingredients:
 
For the Caramelized Onions:
2 large or 3 medium yellow onions, diced
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp Worcestershire
½ tsp salt
 
For the Burger Sauce:
7 tbsp light mayo or avocado oil mayo
3 tbsp ketchup
1 ½ tbsp dill pickle relish (or sweet relish, if you prefer)
1 tsp sugar
1 tbsp pickle juice (any type of pickle)
1 tbsp pickled hot chili peppers, chopped
 
For the Burger:
3 lbs ground beef (I used 80% lean)
Salt
3 tbsp yellow mustard
12 slices American cheese
Burger buns (you can find the recipe for my homemade burger buns in my cookbook!)
Fresh lettuce leaves
Tomato slices
Pickle slices
 
Instructions:
Prepare the Caramelized Onions: In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and a sprinkle of salt. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium low and add 1 tbsp of Worcestershire sauce. Continue to cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened and well browned. Remove from heat and transfer to a plate to set aside. You will use the same pan for the patties.
 
Prepare the Burger Sauce: In a small bowl, add mayo, ketchup, relish, sugar, pickle juice, pickled peppers, and mix together until fully combined. Set aside.

Hello, dear friends, just dropping in with a warm hello and a big thank you. Your kind messages and thoughtful notes during my time away have meant the world to me.

Postpartum life this time around has truly been a roller coaster! Unlike my first experience, this is going more emotional, more sleepless, and filled with a lot of worries and anxiety. Even though I have been here before, I am amazed at how much I had forgotten about the newborn days! While our sweet little one adjusts to the world, I am slowly trying to adjust, too. So I will continue to be a bit quieter here for a little while.

That said, I still have a few delicious surprises I prepared before the baby arrived. I gave the classic Dubai Chocolate a whole new twist, the flavor and texture are on another level. What do you think about trying it this way?

As promised, here is yet another cheesecake recipe for our series to share with you all—this time, in single-serving form!

This molten chocolate cake is a rich, decadent treat that any chocolate fanatic will adore! The warm, gooey center is perfect when served with ice cream, and makes for a delicious holiday dessert ❤️

Molten Chocolate Cake

Ingredients
For the cake:
226g (2 sticks) salted butter
320g semisweet chocolate
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Pinch of salt
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided (or 2 cups, if you want it more sweet)
4 tbsp all-purpose flour

Pistachio cream (optional)*
 
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 23cm (9-inch) round springform pan and line the base with parchment paper.

Cut the butter and chocolate into pieces and melt together in a bowl set over a pot of simmering water (bain marie), stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth. Once the mixture is smooth, sift in cocoa powder and salt and stir to combine. Set aside.

Separate the eggs, putting the whites into a large bowl of a stand mixer and the yolks into another medium bowl. Combine the egg yolks with 1 cup of sugar and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. Set aside. 

Meanwhile, use a stand or handheld mixer to beat the egg whites, gradually adding the remaining sugar. Continue mixing until the egg whites have stiff, glossy peaks.

You should now have three bowls that need to be mixed together. First, pour the melted chocolate mixture into the egg yolks and stir gently until fully incorporated. Then, slowly add about a third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture and gently fold. Add the remaining egg whites and continue folding gently until the entire mixture is combined and no streaks of egg white remain. Try to keep as much air in the batter as possible. 

Pour about 1/3 of the cake batter back into another bowl to set aside for later. Add 2 Tbsp of flour to the remaining 2/3 of the batter and mix well, still being careful to preserve the air in the mixture.

How was everyone’s New Year? Here I have a simple, sharable snack that is perfectly customizable and takes minimal effort! These popcorn recipes are perfect for a movie night in during these cold months. You can of course use microwave popcorn according to package instructions, though I prefer to pop my own so I can control the flavor.
