Mediterranean and Middle Eastern Recipes
These are the Mediterranean and Middle Eastern recipes I cook for my family, from Lebanese fattoush and oven-baked chicken shawarma to Greek gyros and the Armenian dishes I grew up with. Many of them came to us through the Armenian diaspora in Syria, Lebanon and Greece. Every recipe is tested in my own kitchen and made simple enough for a busy weeknight.
