My go-to cookbook this year, full of easy recipes made with accessible things producing wildly successful dishes ‘– Rev Richard Coles I wasn’t particularly excited about making this, but had the ingredients in so decided to make it anyway. So glad I did! It’s delicious. Does need to be seasoned well. This is Ghayour's sixth cookbook, and she regularly braves the steely critiques of her stepsons - but that doesn't mean she's completely fearless in the kitchen.

Served this with the tamarind green beans from the same book (also amazing), gem lettuce and a small portion of brown rice. Would definitely make again.

Using sharp knife score crisscross lines about 1 1/2 centimeters apart in the flat side of each half cutting no deeper than one centimeter into the flesh.Well, almost everything Ghayour tries becomes second nature. "Choux pastry still stresses me out," she admits. "I refuse to make it." I made this with orang zest instead of lemon, since I ran out. I actually liked the orange notes. Interesting flavors with a bit pungent, a bit sweet. The halloumi wasn't melted at all. I thought it would be a touch gooey. Not sure how it's supposed to end up. Ingredients: roasted red peppers in brine; roasted hazelnuts; white bread; flat-leaf parsley; dried chilli flakes Post moderation is undertaken full-time 9am-6pm on weekdays, and on a part-time basis outwith those hours. So easy and so good! I made this with frozen corn that I thawed and dried on a tea towel, making it a pantry standby I can whip together in under 15 minutes. It’s a winner in my book.

So there are a lot of similarities, it's only when you go to the Arab Middle East that things are vastly different. That's the the thing I probably want people to know - if I could say something, I'd be like, 'Hey, Persians are not big lovers of spice'."Ingredients: halloumi cheese; smoked bacon; Medjool dates; honey; ground cinnamon; mixed salad leaves; apple

These are so good. I could have eaten double! Didn’t change the recipe at all, the salad dressing was really unusual (in a good way) and the apple cut through it all. Lovely. I used corn tortillas by mistake and they took a bit longer to brown. The stilton melted early so for my second batch I added it at the end. Honey is a must and I would use it pretty generously.
