Jake Makes It Easy (2024 - 2025)

Pulling from his travels, 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. Paired with a simple yet elegant baklava, it will make you wonder why you don't make it more often.

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. Two updated versions of classic dishes.

Jake makes his sweet and savory lamb meatballs with pearled couscous. It's a recipe so versatile you can use nearly any ingredient you have on hand. It isn't a one-pan dish, but it might as well be. Paired with cinnamon and cardamom snickerdoodles that have a slight hint of citrus, it's a meal that will make guests keep coming back for more.

For tonight's dinner party, Jake is making two of his simplest, most beloved recipes. You'll only need one bowl to make his moist, jammy olive oil cake and one sheet pan to create his baked gnocchi that's packed with eggplant and cherry tomatoes.

Bagels get elevated from an easy breakfast dish to a perfect anytime meal with this everything bagel galette with heirloom tomatoes. The spin on a well-known favorite is combined with a chocolate-filled upside-down banana bread.
