The last of the summer salads!

I’m feeling herb and pulse crazy! As far as I’m concerned, chuck a pile of herbs, pulses, olive oil, lemon juice, perhaps some lightly fried onions and garlic in a bowl. Add in caramelized red peppers or crumbled feta or diced cucumber, tomato and spring onion. 

Roasted Aubergine with Fried Onion and Chopped Lemon

Aubergine, feta and lemon. Perfect – on its own or with pasta. But aubergine, feta and lemon with aromatic, caramelized onion? Interesting suggestion Yotam Ottolenghi.

Feta and Spinach Souffle

After a long week of moving house and starting an internship, I’m finally able to get back into the kitchen. Yay!

Spiced Sweet Potato Pancakes

So I was a little dubious of cooking with pomegranate, more so because it required a special trip to Waitrose (because apparently they are too exotic for Coop) and an obscene effort to extract the seeds. I was happy to swallow my words. The contrasting tastes of the sweet-bitter pomegranate, the salty feta and the subtly flavoured patties bounced of each other. The herby yoghurt and creamy avocado provided welcome moisture. I found this recipe attractive and tasty, a lovely vegetarian summery meal, not that I am naïve enough to hope for a summer in this country.
