Baklava

Buttery, crisp layers of phyllo enfold a warm, spiced nut filling and soak up a bright honey-lemon syrup for the perfect balance of crunch and syrupy sweetness.

Karniyarik (Stuffed Eggplant)

Tender eggplant boats roasted until golden and filled with a spiced ground beef and tomato mixture, finished with bright parsley for a balance of savory, tangy, and herbal notes. This version keeps technique home-kitchen friendly while honoring the layered flavors of the classic Turkish dish.

Batata Harra

Crisp, spicy potato cubes finish in a bright garlicky cilantro-lemon dressing for a dish that’s both rustic and vibrant. Textural contrast—golden edges and a fragrant herb sauce—makes every bite pop.
