Pigs in a blanket are the quintessential party finger food; the problem is one can never eat just one; the full-sized hotdogs wrapped in soft challah are the solution.

Jake Makes It Easy

Challah Pigs in a Blanket & Challah Monkey Bread

A roast chicken and vegetable dish that is two classics in one, with all the flavors of a soul-warming chicken soup, without the soup; a carrot and sweet potato cake that lets the veggies do the work to keep it moist and sweet.

Soupless Chicken Soup & Carrot Sweet Potato Cake

Taking inspiration from one of his husband's favorite dishes as a child, Jake makes celery root remoulade and adds a European twist to the fried chicken sandwich; paired with the simplest, almost no bake chocolate chip cookie brittle.

Jake makes his sweet and savory lamb meatballs with pearled couscous, with cinnamon and cardamom snickerdoodles that have a slight hint of citrus.

Jake is inspired by two dishes he learned from his mother-in-law and grandmother; the first is a Turk-ish leek burger inspired by Turkish meatballs; for dessert, it's a variation of his grandmother's cake with peach crumb bars.

Jake makes two of his favorite super simple crowd-pleasers; first, Iraqi roast salmon slathered in a caramelized onion and tomato sauce that is packed with spice; then, a fudgy date brownie.

Jake puts his twist on Boreka hand pies; filled with tender white beans, spinach, and feta, this recipe can work as a side dish or is hearty enough to be the main course.
