Hey now... maybe it's just possible to leave people the fuck alone?! Yeesh.

"Zachary Neman, a #Jewish #chef of #Iranian descent known for his polished yet accessible #recipes on Instagram, is used to answering questions about #cooking—not #geopolitics. But the escalating conflict between #Israel and #Iran has pulled him into the spotlight, with followers pressuring him to take a public stance on the #war.

Neman, who lives in #NewYork with his family, rose to online fame with his tagline “recipes you'll wanna #cook,” gaining over one million followers thanks to visually refined #MiddleEastern and family-inspired dishes. He often references his Iranian roots and occasionally his Jewish heritage but avoids political commentary."

"Well, it’s official: #Dubai #chocolate is the trendiest #hamantaschen of 2025.

In case you’ve missed it, Dubai chocolate is a knafeh, tahini paste and crushed pistachio-filled chocolate bar first created by Fix Dessert Chocolatier in 2021. Since then, this sumptuous #dessert with #MiddleEastern flavors has become a viral hit, especially in 2023 and 2024, with many online creators attempting to make their own Dubai chocolate bars.

So it’s no surprise, then, that #Jewish #food personalities have picked up the Dubai chocolate trend just in time for #Purim."
