top 10 things i cooked in 2023
this year i made 104 unique recipes (plus lots of duplicates when i liked something enough to make it multiple times). the places i went to most for recipes were feasting at home + the NYT recipes app, although i very much liked the weekday vegetarians, love and lemons, cookie & kate, nora cooks, and the foodie takes flight.
my top 10, in no particular order:
NYT ricotta pasta with roasted broccoli and crispy chickpeas (super simple but a great yummy pasta to make real quick for friends. I roasted the broccoli instead of broiling and added lots of extra lemon zest, garlic, red pepper flakes, and a tray of oven-roasted chickpeas)
moroccan vegetable tagine (i blended a bunch of recipes but the one linked was my starting point. this is the one form i like butternut squash in lol. modifications: i went heavy on all the spices but especially the cinnamon and cardamom, added chopped dried apricots to the stew for extra sweetness, and threw in a bunch of extra veggies. yum)
indian-ish nachos with cheddar, black beans and chutney (do NOT skip the multiple chutneys and sauces. it will seem like too much work you will say can't i just make one and be done with it but those sauces are where the magic lies. the great tragedy of these nachos is that i wanted to eat them for DAYS but they do not reheat well. but godddd they were good)
ottolenghi's green pancakes with lime butter (these are SO easy. great for brunch but also make delicious additions to your lunch for a couple days after. also it's a perfect way to eat a pound of spinach and feel very virtuous about it when really you just ate delicious jalapeno-y scallion pancakes. the lime butter is great but it's a lot of work so i usually just top these with some sour cream mixed with a lil bit of lime zest & lime juice)
cauliflower shawarma with spicy tahini sauce (YUM! the tahini sauce as written was too bitter for me with the cholula mixed in. i think i'd try it with sriracha next time so it was a little sweeter. i also added chickpeas yum)
roasted cauliflower daal with chickpeas (my notes say this was "OUTTA THIS WORLD DELICIOUS" but also note that it will "really clean you out GI-wise" lol. lentils always have that effect on me though so ymmv. i added bell pepper, roasted the cauliflower first, cooked the lentils most of the way soft in the rice cooker instead of on the stove, and added two chopped serrano peppers with seeds to give it a lil extra kick. i would recommend halving the recipe if you are cooking for one as there were TONS of leftovers and my GI system could not handle being cleansed that many times lol)
pasta with corn, tomatoes, "onion-bacon," and basil (this method of preparing onions really should not taste like bacon and yet it sort of does????? this was a summer recipe i made multiple times for a range of audiences and it was a hit every time. originally from the weekday vegetarians)
creamy corn pasta (THIS HAS NO RIGHT BEING AS GOOD AS IT IS. IT'S SO SIMPLE AND YET IT'S THE BEST THING I'VE EVER TASTED I COULD EAT IT FOR DAYS. WE ATE IT ALL SUMMER)
ottolenghi's very full roasted veggie tart (it will take you hours to make and no time at all to consume but oh my god it's so good and SUCH a satisfying way to spend a long weekend afternoon. liz and i loved this so much we had to have a serious sitdown to discuss how we would divvy up the leftovers because we felt it could seriously damage our friendship if one of us ate all of it)
bombay burritos (the little sauces and things take a long time to make but you can prep a lot of the stuff a day or two in advance and gosh these are so tasty!! the curried mashed potatoes YUM)
honorable mentions:
ottolenghi's mango soba noodles (skip the eggplant i'd do tofu or something instead)
braised tofu with basil (i made this with a veggie-loaded stir fry and topped it with a fried egg)
this carrot cake (it took forever to make but it was the best carrot cake i've ever had and the only thing i'll ever make on my bday from here on out). she also has a pumpkin cake recipe that is so good and much simpler to make (no grating required)
momofuku's ginger scallion tofu with crispy coconut rice (the recipe is for a shrimp version but we made it with tofu and it was very yummy. i made this at a friend's house and it was so good i wanted to ask to take home some of the leftovers but decided that was too rude ahaha)
and then of course i gotta give a shoutout to my #1 comfort foods this year, SHAKSHUKA (my beloved) + a caprese sandwich with balsamic glaze served on really good bread.

A few years ago I visited friends from Washington D.C. who had relocated to Morocco. They live in Rabat, Morocco’s capital city, where they had a housekeeper who was also a good and generous cook. Although Fatima spoke only Arabic and French while I speak English and Spanish, we both understood the language of food. I would sit at the kitchen table or stand by her, taking notes as she worked her magic with fresh ingredients from the local market. 
True to Moroccan cuisine, Fatima was skilled at cooking in a tagine, that wondrous North African earthenware pot with the conical lid that creates tender, flavorful dishes of the same name. Tagines always involve lots of vegetables, and sometimes meat. The shape of the tight-fitting lid traps the rising steam as the food cooks, which condenses into drops of liquid flavor.
Like most of you, I don’t have an actual tagine. But after returning from Morocco, I discovered that a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot can work as a stand-in, provided it has a tight-fitting lid. Many enameled Dutch oven lids have condensation rings, which are helpful. Try not to lift the lid as it will break the steam-condensation process. This recipe is inspired by Fatima’s cooking. Imitating the tagine method, vegetables are added in layers, with the ones needing the longest cooking time at the bottom.This dish is perfect for Shabbat, being both special and comforting. Serve it the traditional way with steamed couscous and pretend for a little while that you’re far away, enjoying the delights of Morocco.
Cooking notes: 
Usually only about a cup of broth or water is added to the tagine, but I’ve doubled the liquid as a bit of insurance against burning the bottom. If you want it to be more like a stew, add 2 additional cups of broth or water.
 Be sure to leave a couple inches between the top of the vegetables and the lid of your pot. 
There’s a lot of flexibility in the ingredients. No carrots in the house? No worries. Got green beans or eggplant you want to use up? Add the eggplant, cut in 1/2-inch cubes, before the zucchini, and the whole or cut green beans after. Turnips and other squashes also work well.
I have included a recipe to make your own simplified Ras el Hanout, a spice blend so important in North African cuisines that its means “head of market.” You can also buy it pre-made from Middle Eastern markets, specialty vendors like NY Shuk or even on Amazon. Keep in mind that, like all store-bought spice mixes, the combinations, taste and color can vary. 
This spice mix will freeze well for up to two months.
Ingredients
For the Moroccan spice blend: 
1 Tbsp paprika
1 Tbsp cumin
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp turmeric
<1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp coriander
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cloves
For the tagine:
2 Tbsp olive oil, divided
1 large onion, diced
3 large cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp Moroccan spice mixture (below) or store-bought Ras el Hanout, divided
1 butternut squash or pumpkin (2-2 1/2 pounds), peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes (3-4 cups)
1 can (15 ounces) chickpeas, drained with chickpeas and liquid (aquafaba) reserved separately
peel from 1 small preserved lemon, diced or cut into very thin strips, or 2 tsp grated fresh lemon zest, divided
2 medium sweet or yellow potatoes (1-1 1/2 pounds), unpeeled and cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 medium carrots, cut 1/2 inch wide
2 medium zucchinis, cut into 1/2-inch half moons
1 large tomato
1/2 small green cabbage, cut into 6-8 thin wedges
2 cups hot vegetable stock or water
1/2-1 tsp salt
1 cup green or black olives (optional)
chopped cilantro or parsley (optional)
Directions
To make the spice blend: Whisk all the spices together in a bowl until well blended. Store mix in an airtight glass or stainless-steel container in a cool, dry place.
To make the tagine: In a heavy-bottomed 6- or 7-quart pot or Dutch oven with a tight-fitting lid, heat 1 Tbsp oil over medium heat. Add onions with a pinch of salt and sauté, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, until tender but not browned. Add garlic and 1 Tbsp of the spice mixture. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until aromatic.
Add the liquid from the chickpeas (aquafaba) and the squash cubes to the pot, and stir.
Turn the heat as low as possible while you layer the vegetables, building a domed shape as you go. Sprinkle about a third of the preserved lemon or lemon zest over the squash or pumpkin, then cover with potato slices. Add a layer of carrots, a third more lemon. Layer the zucchini on top. Lean wedges of cabbage against the sides of the vegetable mound.
In a small bowl, whisk together the hot broth or water with the remaining 1 Tbsp each of oil and spice mixture. Pour over the vegetables. Cover the pot and turn the heat up to medium.
While the tagine heats, use a small knife to peel the skin from the bottom of the tomato. Holding onto the top or stem, grate the tomato flesh on the large holes of a box grater into a dish, leaving discarding the skin. Add the grated tomato and juices to the pot, on top of the zucchini.
As soon as the tagine starts to simmer, reduce heat to low and let cook undisturbed until the vegetables are almost tender, about 25-30 minutes. 
Add the chickpeas, olives and remaining lemon. Add a little more stock or hot water if the pot looks dry.  Cover and continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes. 
Serve in the pot, or the vegetables can be carefully moved and arranged on a large serving platter, taking care with each layer of vegetables and serving on top of couscous or rice. Garnished generously with chopped cilantro or parsley.

World Tour of Vegan Dinner Ideas
Thank you so much for checking this video out, and welcome to Vegan Delights: Embarking on a Global Culinary Voyage for Dinner Ideas! 
Today, we invite you to join us on a culinary journey, exploring the world of vegan dinner ideas. Get ready to tantalize your taste buds with flavors from every corner of the globe.
Our first stop is Asia, where we discover the art of vegan sushi. Delicate rice rolls filled with vibrant vegetables and drizzled with zesty sauces will transport you to the bustling streets of Tokyo. 
To create your own vegan sushi at home, start by preparing sushi rice according to package instructions. Once cooled, mix in rice vinegar and white wine vinegar. 
Lay out a nori sheet on a bamboo mat and spread the rice evenly, leaving space at one end. Place thin strips of cucumber, carrot, avocado, and sautéed tofu marinated in a blend of soy sauce, maple syrup, and ginger onto the rice. 
Roll tightly using the mat, slice into pieces, and serve with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
Next, we travel to the heart of Mexico, where we uncover the secrets of vegan tacos. Crispy tortillas filled with savory plant-based proteins, fresh avocado, and a spicy salsa will ignite your senses and transport you to the vibrant streets of Mexico City. 
For a hearty filling, consider using a combination of black beans and walnut vegan taco meat. Top with homemade pico de gallo, shredded lettuce, and a drizzle of tahini sauce. 
Assemble your tacos by warming corn tortillas, then layering them with the protein mixture, salsa, lettuce, and avocado. Finish with a generous drizzle of tahini sauce for a creamy touch.
Continuing our journey, we arrive in the Mediterranean, where we indulge in the wonders of vegan moussaka. Layers of tender eggplant, hearty lentils, and aromatic spices create a delectable dish that will transport you to the sun-soaked shores of Greece. 
Begin by roasting slices of eggplant and zucchini until golden. Prepare a tomato sauce with red lentils and a hint of cinnamon for richness. Layer the vegetables and sauce in a baking dish, and top with a creamy béchamel made from plant-based milk and flour. 
Bake until bubbly and golden, and let it rest before serving to allow the layers to set.
Now it's time to experience the rich flavors of Africa. Get ready to savor a vegan tagine, a hearty stew bursting with exotic spices, root vegetables, and chickpeas. Close your eyes, and let the aromas transport you to the bustling markets of Marrakech.
 In a large pot, sauté onions, garlic, and bell peppers in olive oil. Add chunks of carrots, parsnips, potatoes, and leeks, along with dried apricots for sweetness. Season with cumin, coriander, and cinnamon, and add chickpeas for protein. 
Simmer until the vegetables are tender and the flavors meld together. Serve over a bed of fluffy couscous or with crusty bread.
Finally, we reach the land of pasta, Italy. Our last stop takes us to a vegan lasagna, layered with homemade tomato sauce, nutty vegan cheese, and fresh basil. With each bite, you'll be transported to the charming streets of Rome. 
Start by preparing a rich tomato sauce with garlic, onions, and Italian herbs. Layer lasagna noodles with the sauce, vegan ricotta, and spinach in a baking dish. 
Top with vegan mozzarella and bake until the top is golden and bubbly. Let it cool slightly before slicing to ensure perfect layers.
Thank you for joining us on this culinary adventure as we explored the world of vegan dinner ideas. We hope you enjoyed this journey and are inspired to bring these incredible flavors to your own kitchen. 
Don't forget to subscribe to our channel for more delicious vegan recipes. Happy cooking and bon appétit!

With its warm, soothing aroma, cinnamon has long been a prized spice in kitchens around the world. Reputable and trustworthy, Farzana Foodstuff Trading Company UAE provides premium food items and ingredients to satisfy the wide range of demands of its clientele. In addition to its wonderful aroma, this versatile bark offers countless culinary uses, elevating both sweet and savory dishes. Join us on a flavorful journey as we explore cinnamon's interesting history, health benefits, and uses in a variety of cuisines. 
Historical spices  
Cinnamon's historical journey is as rich as its flavor. This spice is extracted from the bark of trees in the Lauraceae family, has been traded since ancient times, and is popular across cultures. In ancient Egypt it was a valuable material in embalming rituals, and in medieval Europe it was considered a symbol of wealth and prosperity.  
Different varieties  
Before delving into its culinary uses, it is worth noting that there are two main types of cinnamon: Ceylon cinnamon and Cassia cinnamon. Ceylon cinnamon is also known as "real cinnamon" and is known for its delicate, delicate flavor. The more common cassia cinnamon has a stronger, spicier flavor. However, both varieties can be used in a variety of dishes.  
Sweet Symphony: Dessert Cinnamon  
Cinnamon's natural sweetness and warmth make it a staple in dessert recipes. From classic apple pie to decadent cinnamon rolls, this spice adds depth and complexity to sweet treats. Consider using cinnamon if: 
1. Baked sweets:  
Sprinkle cinnamon on sugar cookies or add it to cake batter for a delicious addition.  
2. Fruit compote:  
Spice up your fruit compote or poached fruit with cinnamon to create a harmonious blend of flavors.  
3. Chocolate and hot drinks:  
Add a pinch of cinnamon to hot chocolate, coffee, or warm milk for a soothing experience. 
Savory Elegance: Cinnamon in Main Courses 
Cinnamon isn't confined to the realm of sweets; its versatility extends to savory dishes, imparting depth and warmth to various cuisines. Explore its savory side by incorporating cinnamon into: 
1. Curries and Stews: 
Add a hint of cinnamon to curries, stews, or tagines to enhance the complexity of flavors. 
2. Rice and Grain Dishes: 
Infuse rice or grain dishes with cinnamon for an aromatic and subtly sweet undertone. 
3. Roasted Vegetables: 
Sprinkle cinnamon on roasted vegetables like sweet potatoes or carrots for a delightful twist. 
Health Benefits and Beyond 
Beyond its culinary allure, cinnamon offers a range of health benefits. Studies suggest that it may help regulate blood sugar levels, possess anti-inflammatory properties, and contribute to heart health. 
Once you complete your exploration of cinnamon's uses in the kitchen, it becomes clear that this spice is more than just a flavor enhancer. A cooking companion that crosses the line between sweet and savory. The next time you smell the enticing aroma of cinnamon wafting through your kitchen, embrace the spice of life and enjoy the delicious symphony it brings to your cooking.

unbelievably easy plant-based meals: moroccan vegetable tagine
WHAT YOU NEED:
veggies of your choice! truly anything goes as it’s just a big chunky veggie stew. I used sweet potato, yellow bell pepper, onion, butternut squash, eggplant, and carrot (all chopped into bigger 3/4th to 1” pieces since it’ll be simmering for a long time)
2 cans diced tomatoes (I used fire-roasted for extra flavor)
1 can chickpeas (optional) 
3.5 cups broth or water 
3-5 cloves minced garlic
SPICES (cinnamon, cardamom, coriander, turmeric, cumin, cayenne, garlic powder, ginger, harissa if you have it or sub paprika)
dried apricots or dried cherries or raisins (roughly chopped)
zest & juice of 1 lemon
HOW TO MAKE IT
just a prep note: you will cook all the veggies separately in batches for a couple min in the big deep soup pot first before combining them to make the stew. that means you can chop the next veg while the previous one cooks to save time!
heat oil in a big deep soup pot over medium-high heat. chop your onions & mince garlic. once the oil is sizzling, toss in the onions + garlic and cook for 2 min. chop the next veggie while the onion/garlic is cooking.
once the onions are done, scrape them into a big bowl and throw in the next chopped veggie while you start cutting up the third one. keep repeating this till you’re finished and have a big bowl of lightly sautéed veggies. most veggies will cook ~3 min or until they’re a little softened.
make the spice blend while your last batch of veggies cook. I don’t measure usually I just dump spices into a bowl in roughly the proportions the recipe calls for. this one was heavy on the cinnamon/cardamom/cumin/coriander and then a little lighter on the ginger powder/turmeric/cayenne (you can omit the last one if you don’t like heat).
when the veggies are all done, dump ALL the veggies back into the soup pot and mix in your spice blend. salt & pepper generously. let it all cook for a min or two as you mix to coat all the veggies in the spices.
dump in two cans of diced tomatoes. salt lightly and stir for a minute to combine. you can toss in your chopped dried apricots at this point too—I just eyeballed the amount but about 1/3 a cup maybe?
dump in the 3.5 cups of water or broth (your choice—I used broth but apparently water is more authentic lol). cook uncovered over medium high heat for ten minutes. taste and re-spice/salt as necessary. you probably will need to! I added more cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, and cumin at this stage.
lower to a simmer. cook uncovered for 25-30 min or until the squash and sweet potato are sooooo fork-tender and yummy.
add the drained chickpeas. taste the broth again and adjust spices as needed, then cook 5 more min.
add the zest and juice of one lemon. don’t skip this step as the ZING of the lemon takes this dish to the next level. you can also add some big handfuls of baby spinach if you, like me, are hooked on wilting leafy greens into stews. I also added parsley at this stage.
SERVE!!!! you can serve it over couscous or rice or eat it with the bread of your choice (I made whole-wheat pita) but it’s absolutely hearty enough to eat on its own.

Recipe for Carrot and Potato Tagine with Peas
This is a classic peasant or “poor man’s” tagine, which can be easily adapted to suit the season or the budget by substituting the peas with beans, chickpeas, or chopped turnip or cabbage. Serve with plain couscous, rice or chunks of crusty bread. Serves 4.
Ingredients
2–3 Tbsp ghee, or 1 tablespoon olive oil plus 1 tablespoon butter
2 onions, halved and sliced with the grain
4 garlic cloves, chopped
25 g/a 1-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
1–2 red chillies, deseeded and finely chopped
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
2 teaspoons ground turmeric
8 small potatoes, peeled and left whole
3–4 carrots, peeled and cut into 3–4 chunks
600 ml/2 1⁄2 cups vegetable stock
225 g/1 1⁄2 cups freshly shelled or frozen peas
a small bunch of fresh flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
a small bunch of fresh mint, finely chopped
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation
Heat the ghee in the base of a tagine or in a heavy-based saucepan, stir in the onions, garlic, ginger, chillies and the cumin and coriander seeds and sauté for 2–3 minutes. Add the turmeric and the potatoes and carrots. Pour in the stock and bring it to the boil. Put the lid on the tagine, reduce the heat and cook gently for 15–20 minutes, until the potatoes and carrots are tender.
Toss in the peas, add half the parsley and mint, and season with salt and pepper. Add a little extra water, if necessary, put the lid back on and cook gently for 5–6 minutes. Garnish with the rest of the parsley and mint before serving.
