Pretty Delicious: Simple, Modern Mediterranean, Served with Style: A Cookbook by Elkaffas, Alia

The debut cookbook from social media sensations Food Dolls, with more than 110 simply sophisticated, fresh, and vibrant Mediterranean dishes with a Middle Eastern twist.

Born and raised in the Midwest to parents originally from Egypt, sisters Alia and Radwa Elkaffas created their Food Dolls platform to answer the question of how to put an exciting and healthful meal on the table without spending hours in the kitchen. And that's what Pretty Delicious is all about: flavor-packed, Mediterranean-inspired, and super simple recipes, all dolled up and plated with style.

Start with the How to Make Your Kitchen Your Happy Place chapter (life-bettering shortcuts! organizing and styling tips!) and then fall in love with dishes like:

• Breakfast, Brunch, or Anytime: Banana Bread-Baked Oatmeal Three Ways; Baklava Cinnamon Rolls
• Just Getting Started: Sumac Chicken Wings; Crispy Baked Halloumi with Hot-Honey Drizzle

• Double-Duty Dips: Whipped Feta; Roasted-Tomato Baba G

• Pretty Delicious Salads: Mediterranean Cobb Salad; Pasta Salad with Green Goddess Dressing
• What's for Dinner?: Shrimp Tagine with Garlicky Tomatoes and Peppers; Spiced Chickpea & Coconut Stew; Chicken Kofta Burgers; Steak Shawarma Bowls
• Pretty Sweet: Turkish Coffee Tiramisu; Croissant Bread Pudding with Caramel Sauce

And since serving with style is what Food Dolls perhaps love the most, they also share an entire chapter of menus and inspired ideas to zhush up the dinner table, with 120 beautifully styled photos throughout. Fresh, streamlined, healthful, and proven family-friendly, Pretty Delicious will inspire you with dozens of ingenious ways to level up dinner.
