Wontons are Chinese dumplings that you can enjoy in a fragrant wonton broth or fried as an appetizer. Here is an easy recipe for making them at home.

Chicken with black mushrooms and bamboo shoots is a fragrant Chinese recipe I’d been wanting to make again for a long time. Last week I finally came across the ingredients I was missing, so here’s the recipe.

Pkaila is one of the signature dishes of Tunisian Jewish cooking. It’s a stew in which the spinach is cooked down for a long time until it becomes almost confit, then simmered with meat and white beans. Real black gold for those who love it: don’t be put off by its unusual color, this dish is a real crowd-pleaser.

Perfect in mini size for a themed buffet, pita bread is very easy to make, wonderfully soft, and freezes well! Here I’m sharing an oven-baked version, but you can also cook them in a skillet.

Panino in the singular, these pretty panini rolls are quick to make and freeze well. All that’s left is to fill them and toast them.

This Italian-style bread, made with olive oil and sprinkled with nigella seeds, is the one traditionally used for the Tunisian sandwich, filled just like the famous Tunisian fricassé. It is also perfect alongside slow-cooked dishes such as Psal or Loubia (meat stew with onions and beans) or mloukhia, jute-leaf stew with meat and merguez.

Nicknamed the dish that never ends, mloukhia (or mloukhiya) is a classic of Tunisian cooking made from ground jute leaves (corète) and cooked with beef and merguez. Here we make it every year as soon as the weather turns cooler, so I’m sharing my family recipe. Don’t judge it by its looks: it’s a wonderful dish that you’ll love mopping up with a good Italian-style bread.

Madeleines are a breakfast and afternoon-snack classic that belongs in your recipe notebook. You can make them with butter or with oil, and finish them with a chocolate shell or leave them plain.

Big dumplings stuffed with meat, so much fun to make and so good you’ll want to keep eating them without stopping…

After gyoza, chicken dumplings and wontons, here is a new steamed dumpling (dim sum) recipe that is a must and absolutely delicious - har gow (ha kao), made kosher and parve with imitation shrimp.

These steamed buns are unbelievably soft and fluffy. Here’s a detailed, step-by-step recipe for making them at home. You can fill them with anything: meat, fish, mushrooms…! This recipe is kosher and parve.

These little steamed buns have a brioche-like texture that’s airy and melting at the same time. Use them as a base and fill them with whatever you like; the key is to vary the textures and flavors a bit and to add some freshness with herbs or raw vegetables. Here I’m sharing an easy version filled with braised goose legs, fresh cilantro and peanuts.

Gnaouia (also spelled gnaouiya, ganaouia or gnawia) is a Tunisian Jewish specialty that never goes out of style. The star ingredient of this delicious dish is okra, cooked with beef or chicken. A must at holiday meals and especially on Shabbat, okra may be little known in European cooking, but it is a staple across Africa and the Middle East.

This chocolate marble cake is a rich, very moist version that’s especially good for breakfast. Using semi-whole wheat flour and almond flour makes it filling and nutritionally interesting. It’s also dairy-free (parve).

A recipe for Chinese scallion pancakes: they are easy to make and perfect alongside an Asian meal. Parve, of course.

Here is a must of Tunisian cooking: fricassés. They are sandwiches made with fried bread, like savory doughnuts, filled with tuna, hard-boiled eggs, olives, and cooked and fresh salads. Sounds heavy? Give them a try, they are always a hit, especially in mini size for your buffets and cocktail parties!

Almond cigars in honey syrup are one of the most beloved Tunisian pastries and a must on every holiday table. They are also one of the easiest to make.
