Lebanese Stuffed Grape Leaves
Lebanese Stuffed Grape Leaves are my all-time favorite dish that I grew up eating and actually grew up helping my mom make! In Arabic, we call it “warak enab” which means leaves of grapes, and traditionally it’s stuffed with rice and meat or rice and veggies. While this is the rice and beef version, I also have the vegetarian stuffed grape leaves recipe if you prefer.
Arayes
My arayes is an authentic Lebanese recipe made with spiced meat stuffed in pita or flatbread and then baked, fried or grilled until crispy

Homemade Lebanese Knafeh
Knafeh is one of the most popular Lebanese and Middle Eastern recipes after baklava. And it’s actually much easier to make! You only need a handful of ingredients, including shredded dough, butter, cheese, and sugar drizzled with a rose water simple syrup. Knafeh is a wonderful dessert to enjoy during the holidays, and it’s one that I grew up enjoying at special occasions!
Layali Lubnan (Semolina Pudding)
Layali Lubnan is a Lebanese semolina pudding made with a few ingredients to create a creamy floral dessert with a crunchy pistachio topping.
