TODAY on MHTV: My friend Milot’s mom, Maggie, makes the most amazing spinach pie I’ve ever tasted. She uses homemade phyllo dough (!) in her version, but she’s letting me simplify the recipe with store-bought dough. We’re also making kadaif, a sweet dessert of shredded phyllo dough and lemon syrup, and addictive Turkish coffee. More from the show.
