Let’s explore a collection of classic recipes, reimagined with modern ingredients and techniques, to provide innovative dishes to suit any palate.
Vegetarian Maklouba: A Traditional Arabic Comfort Food
Maklouba, a Middle Eastern classic, typically features layers of rice, vegetables and meat. We offer a vegetarian version that swaps the meat for hearty vegetables like eggplant, cauliflower and potatoes.

This vegetarian maklouba is a perfect choice for anyone seeking a plant-based option that captures the essence of traditional Arabic comfort food, making it ideal for those on a vegetarian meal plan.
Vegan Risotto Bowl: A Creamy Italian Classic, Reinvented
Instead of traditional cream and cheese, we provide a Vegan Risotto Rice Bowl that uses a tamari-based sauce for flavor. Paired with brussels sprouts, this dish keeps the creamy texture while staying plant-based. It’s an excellent comfort food that fits well within a plant-based diet and is perfect for individuals looking for a quick and easy meal option that aligns with their health and weight loss goals.

Falafel with Quinoa Salad: Arabic Street Food with a Healthy Twist
Falafel is a beloved Middle Eastern comfort food, and we offer it paired with a quinoa salad, adding a nutritious spin to the classic.

This pairing keeps the traditional flavors alive while providing a lighter and healthier option. This dish fits perfectly into balanced meal plans for anyone looking to maintain a nutritious diet without sacrificing taste.
Moroccan Lentil Salad: A Fresh and Flavorful Favorite
For a lighter comfort option, the Moroccan Lentil Salad combines fresh vegetables with protein-rich lentils and a zesty lemon dressing.

Perfect for those on a weight loss journey, it provides the necessary protein sources from lentils while remaining both light and satisfying.
