Where to start?
First, I am thrilled that my dear friends have launched a website with amazing food for everyone to try. Husband Youssef / Joe and Wife Dorine (aka “Baby” to me…) are both fine people with mad skills! Joe is crazy-good with technology/programming – and baking! (Who woulda’ thunk it?) And Baby is the best, most creative person/chef I have ever met. Her creative juices literally ooze out of her with in everything she does, but truly, she shines in the kitchen. EVERYTHING SHE MAKES is amazing! Between the two of them, their Mediterranean website was born. Check it out: www.zahlebakery.com
I have had the opportunity to cook with Baby and and Joe and enjoy their cooking many, many times over the 20-ish years we’ve known one another. If you like Mediterranean food, try theirs! Literally, it’s the best I’ve ever had – and I spent 3 weeks in Greece!
At the top of my favorites list is “Baby’s Hot Stuff!” (Can you guess where the name came from? To this day, I do not know the real name of this dish.) Early on, it was one of the items she prepared for a party and I had never had anything like it. That far back, I said “YOU NEED TO MARKET THIS STUFF – and call it “Baby’s Hot Stuff!” Finally, that dream has come to fruition and a sampling of their talent is available for all.
Try Baby’s Hot Stuff and see what you think. Really, though? Try it all! You won’t be disappointed!
