A spread of crispy baked falafel, warm pita pockets, and bright toppings that everyone assembles to their taste.

Everyone builds their own pita, stuffing it exactly how they like it, and the kitchen stays organized with separate prep zones when that matters to your household.
A brilliant way to feed a mixed household: build a spread of warm quinoa or rice topped with roasted sweet potato, spiced chickpeas, crunchy cabbage, quick-pickled onions, creamy avocado, and a silky tahini dressing.

It's cool enough to eat straight from the fridge or gently warmed for a minute in the toaster oven.
