Rose water and golden raisins upgrade this yogurt-based meal.

"This Israeli-inspired dish is perfect for starting your day or as a sweet, healthy snack: it has flowery aromatics and a slightly creamy mouthfeel, but with a great crunch courtesy of the pistachios," says New York City-based chef Woldy Reyes, who made a version of this for Christian Louboutin’s team. It's also made with antioxidant-rich mulberries, which are a great source of vitamins C and K.
