The last time we were in London we paid another visit to Pop in Brixton for some street food. I usually go for some Masala Fries but this time I went for Ramen. When I went back to meet himself he had picked up a chicken and halloumi souvlaki wrap from Souvlaki Street. Now, Greek […]
Look at that orange colour. That bowl represents Autumn to me, warm and comforting. Myself and himself went for lunch recently to the Pepperstack. I ordered soup for starter, forgetting that they always give a little cup of soup while you are waiting for your food, a nice touch. That day it was a delicious […]
We are well into asparagus season now and I was scrolling through these recipes from Ottolenghi for inspiration. I spotted the tart and thought about the tart I like to make myself. It was only then I realised that I have never published it here! The reason for that is probably because it is so […]

My love for Middle Eastern food continues to grow. I have Yotam Ottolenghi and Sabrina Ghayour to thank for this. I’ve loved Sabrina’s recipes ever since I first read Persiana when it was published. I’m glad to say that her latest book Feasts is every bit as good. I have been tinkering with a recipe […]
