This fresh and flavorful tuna tartare with mango is always a crowd-pleaser, perfect for serving in verrines as an appetizer or as an elegant starter.

I love tarts and quiches as much as I love mushrooms. This week, looking for a change from my traditional mushroom quiche, I came across a recipe from chef Ottolenghi that inspired this dish. I simplified it with what I had on hand and adapted it to our tastes, and everyone loved it. The tarragon and dill combination pairs beautifully with the mushrooms and gives it an original flavor. The classic quiche custard (eggs + cream) is replaced here with a delicious mushroom cream (which can also be made dairy-free). Let me share it with you!

Here’s a must-try from Tunisian cuisine - fricassés. These are sandwiches with fried bread, like savory doughnuts, filled with tuna, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and cooked and fresh salads. Sound heavy? Give them a try - they’re usually a hit, especially in mini versions for your buffets and appetizers!

A fresh and quick starter with a delicious lemony flavor.

A twist on the famous tomato gazpacho, this original recipe is easy, quick, and refreshing.

A specialty from Tunisian Jewish cuisine that pairs wonderfully with chicken broth. Minina is a savory egg and chicken cake cooked in a bain-marie, giving it an unparalleled tenderness. I’m sharing our family recipe for a classic Minina.

I often make pasta for Friday lunch, each week with a different sauce (unless there’s a special request ^^). With spring here, I wanted to try a quick sauce with no cooking and no cheese… Zucchini pesto. It was a huge success, it comes together in just a few minutes, it’s fresh, well-balanced and pairs beautifully with pasta. If you love basil and zucchini, I highly recommend trying it!

A simple, fresh salad that’s perfect for your spring table—crisp, light, and full of flavor.

Here’s a must-have Israeli appetizer - smoky eggplant with tehina. It’s traditionally prepared over an open flame which gives it that very characteristic taste. We love it with a bit of tomato, plenty of tehina and cilantro. The result is melt-in-your-mouth and creamy. If you think you don’t like eggplant, give it a chance with this recipe!

We’re often tempted to buy large quantities of cucumbers when temperatures rise, but they’re fragile and we sometimes tire of tomato-cucumber salad… So here are 6 fresh ideas to use up your cucumbers.

The famous chickpea fritters, very easy to make and absolutely delicious! A must-have for your falafel party.

After trying numerous mediocre recipes and store-bought sauces that weren’t any better, I finally found THE spring roll sauce just the way I like it. Unlike other sauces, I don’t use fish sauce. It’s sweet yet slightly spicy and pairs wonderfully with egg rolls, spring rolls, and imperial rolls.

Fresh spring rolls filled with crisp vegetables and fresh herbs, with optional chicken or shrimp. Light, healthy, and perfect for make-ahead meals.

Hummus - chickpea purée - is one of Israel’s national dishes. You’ll find dozens of varieties in restaurants (some - called Houmoussia - serve only that!) but it’s so quick to make that I encourage you to try it at home. Here’s a classic version of hummus with tahini as we eat it here.

A classic Italian starter, the Caprese salad originates from the island of Capri. This easy summer salad is always a crowd-pleaser.

I discovered this egg salad in London, where the English traditionally eat it in sandwiches. I absolutely love this salad - it’s more flavorful than our classic egg-mayo thanks to the addition of green onions and mustard. I also add a finely minced shallot, and it’s always devoured in moments, even by the kids. You can enjoy it on bread, challah, or use it to fill appetizer bites.
