I got a gorgeous cookbook recently, Vegetarian Dishes from the Middle East by an absolutely fascinating man called Arto Der Haroutunian. The author wasn’t widely known; he died in 1987, missing the wave of cookery programmes and celebrity chefs that we’re subject to these days. This is a shame, as there are some wonderful recipes in the…
Tofu, Seaweed and Sesame Party Snacks
It had to happen sooner or later, didn’t it? Yes, we were bound to post a recipe with seaweed in it. The only surprise really is that it didn’t happen sooner. Seaweed used to be much maligned as hippy dippy food. Now though, with the relentless rise of sushi (they sell it in meal deals…
Porcini and Cashew Nut Roast
We love this Porcini and Cashew Nut Roast. Ever since Bibi had enough teeth to gnaw on more than a banana, nut roast has been our special occasion dinner. Births, marriages, bar mitzvahs – you know the type of thing. We’d probably eat it at funerals too if we could find a way of making…
Amazing Broccoli And Veggie Sausage Roast
The basis for this easy-to-make roast vegetable dish comes from our Canadian friends Lehna and Jamie. They call it Jamie’s Amazing Broccoli And Veggie Sausage Roast but we’re probably not allowed to do that, on account of Jamie’s name being claimed as a brand by a rather more famous chef. We’re erring on the side of caution and calling it the…

Cannellini Bean & Roast Carrot Salad with Halloumi
We’ve been thinking about packed lunches this week, what with it being back to school time and all. Not that we’re going back to school – with 12 years at university between us, not including actually working in them, we think we’re done with all that. We do see parents frantically shopping for school uniforms …
Moroccan Chickpea Tagine with Fragrant Brown Rice
This recipe has quickly become one of my favourites to impress friends with something a bit different. The lemon and olives give it a unique punchy flavour and can be made with various different vegetable. I have used courgette, but it would certainly go well with aubergine, green beans, carrots or squash. On this occasion I served…
Vegan Aromatic Lentil Soup
We all know the jokes about lentil-eating, granola-crunching, hemp-wearing vegetarians. Apart from the fact that they’re not funny and wrong (though, hey, if I did want to wear granola I would!), they miss the fact that lentils can be DELICIOUS. The jokers will soon be laughing on the other side of their faces (what exactly…
Recovery Breakfast – Poached Egg & Curried Chick Peas
I did the Eccup 10 mile race recently, a gorgeous, undulating run through the glorious Yorkshire countryside. The weather was breezy but bright, all adding up to a fabulous jaunt on a Sunday morning. Typically, though, I was starving after I’d showered and prettified myself up a bit. So there I was, fresh and lovely…
