Grilled Steak with Israeli - North African BBQ Rub by John Spottiswood

Almost nothing tastes better on steak or lamb that is thick enough to slice than an Israeli or North African spice rub. I combined a bit of both in this rub, using the base from an Israeli Hawaij rub and adding coriander which is more commonly found in Moroccan rubs. The combination is phenomenal. You won't be disappointed!

PERSIAN KUFTEH BERENJI by Linda Tay Esposito

Big balls of aromatic fresh herbs, rice, beef and lamb. It's a whole meal by itself. Adding dairy to meatballs make them tender. The Advieh is a Persian spice mix of cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, cloves and rose petals.

Moist Dates Cake by Padma Priya Manikam

I'm living in the desert shores and why not bake a cake that has dates in it! This is a simple recipe that I came across but changed a little. It is not too sweet and works well with prunes too if you are not a big dates fan.

Za'atar Spice Mix by Aaron Donnelly Howlin

This spice mix is inspired by a few years my family spent living in Saudi Arabia many moons ago. It is a delicious, subtle and floral spice blend which adds a rich taste of the Middle East to any recipe you can think of!
