These days I’ve been spending pretty much all of my time and energy on the release of my second cookbook, Simply Dinner. But for months during our Wednesday weekly meetings, the team has reminded me of the other big event on the calendar: The Mediterranean Dish’s 10th anniversary! To be honest I haven’t wanted to celebrate. I think it’s because I don’t know how I could possibly thank all the people who have made this possible. I’ve watched this site go from a personal project to document my childhood dishes for my girls, to now a team of 10 talented, creative employees and 25+ contributors from around the world. We not only have the website, but I’ve also written two New York Times best-selling cookbooks and added a shop to help you find the best ingredients to feed your families. To the thousands of readers who have written to me about how The Mediterranean Dish helped them live a more joyful life, please know I have read every one of those messages. They’re what has kept me going. You, along with now millions of readers who visit and cook from this website each month, inspired me to grow this small food site into what it is today. This is all to say a big THANK YOU, even though I know words can never be enough. I wish I could make you all a big feast because that’s how I typically express gratitude and sappy stuff isn’t really in my nature. I’m thinking all the hits: We’d start with warm Pita Bread fresh from the oven with fluffy from-scratch Hummus. My mom’s Egyptian Moussaka would bring the perfect wholesome comfort alongside a big fresh Mediterranean Tomato Cucumber Salad. For dessert? Black Tea and Homemade Baklava of course, still perfectly crispy and dripping with warm syrup. Maybe one day! Until then I wanted to share some of my favorite recipes (and yours too) from the last 10 years. You’ll see we’ve jazzed up some of these posts since they were first published, but the recipes have remained the same. I still love and make every one of these dishes. I hope you’ll make them on repeat for the next 10 years and beyond!
My Top Recipes from the Past 10 Years!
Here are the recipes I made on repeat the year I shared them with you and honestly every year after. I’m so humbled you loved them too!
Top Contributor Recipes
Once the website grew beyond family recipes and I saw how many people were interested in living the Mediterranean way, I knew I wanted to include other voices. In 2022 that dream of mine finally came to light. We now have more than 25 experts from around the world who specialize in Mediterranean cuisine spanning Spain, North Africa, Italy, and the Middle East! On the other side, we have cabbage, which I became rather obsessed with in 2022. A humble ingredient that becomes meltingly tender or crispy depending on how you cook it, and, dare I say, sexy?! It’s a toss up! It’s something I am very proud of when I reflect on these past 10 years and how far we’ve come. I look forward to what the next 10 years will bring as we continue to hear from more voices! Here is a sample of my favorite recipes from our all-star Mediterranean Dish team. I wish I could list every contributor because they all mean so much but then this post would never end! This small sample will have to do. Browse all Mediterranean recipes.
