MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Stephanie Hansen visits the Food Dolls to celebrate the launch of their debut cookbook, "Pretty Delicious", which features colorful Mediterranean recipes packed with fresh herbs and flavor.
Alia and Radwa Elkaffas are sisters who’ve built a massive online following, including more than 1.6 million followers on their Instagram, @fooddolls. Their specialty is simple social media videos crafting original recipes, including a variety of whipped feta cheese dips, one-pot savory meals, and lush desserts.
The Food Dolls give Stephanie an inside look at how their dishes come together by demonstrating two recipes from their new cookbook: Marinated Tomatoes with Whipped Feta, and Saucy Chicken and Potatoes. Both recipes combine fresh herbs, flavorful spices, and creamy yogurt to achieve a bright, exciting, and comforting bite.
Back at home and inspired by her time with the Food Dolls, Stephanie whips up the Egyptian Orzo Pasta from their cookbook and then puts her own spin on their whipped feta dip by making a cheesy tomato and feta pasta bake.
