    New Recipes to Crave

    Welcome to Crave-Worthy—where bold Mediterranean flavor meets real-life cooking. I share modern takes on the dishes I’ve come to love through my time living in Turkey and my Turkish-American home. These recipes aren’t traditional, but are crave-worthy, comforting, and full of vibrant, feel-good ingredients.

    • Vibrant Shirazi salad in a white bowl with a brown rim, featuring finely diced cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions, and fresh mint, viewed from an overhead perspective. Lemon wedges are on the side.
