Let’s get one thing straight: lahmacun is not pizza. I know, I know, people call it “Turkish pizza” all the time, but that just doesn’t do it justice. This dish has a long and beautiful history, developed during the Ottoman empire, and lives on in the kitchens of Türkiye, Syria, Lebanon and other Arab countries.

This miso hotpot is one of my favourite go-to’s when I want something soothing, nourishing, and super quick. It’s made with soft tofu, enoki mushrooms, spring onion and somen noodles, a super light broth that comes together in about 15 minutes.

Okay… can we talk about this cake for a second? Because I still can’t believe I made it in a rice cooker. A rice cooker. No oven. No fancy tools. Just one bowl, one button and a whole lot of curiosity.
