Armenian & Middle Eastern
Some of the most popular recipes on the site fall into this delicious category. Authentic family recipes from my Armenian heritage have been transcribed and meticulously tested. They are shared alongside a variety of excellent Middle Eastern recipes from other cultures including Lebanese, Persian, and Georgian.
Perhaps one of the most sought after recipes is for my grandmother's Homemade Manti. It's a personal favorite along with this incredible Yalanchi (Vegetarian Stuffed Grape Leaves). Meanwhile, this Kashke Bademjan (Persian Eggplant Dip) is a newer addition to the menu, but so delicious that you've got to try it! For a sweet finish, this Pirog with Apricot Preserves is welcome at any family gathering.
