Spectacular Mashed Beetroot with Yogurt & Za’artar Recipe
When I was a kid you judged a good party by the eye popping colour of its food offerings. Any decent party spread was a riot of colour – pink and green lamingtons, fire engine red frankfurter sausages, fairy bread, jellied orange quarters, green and red pickled onions, bowls of garish lollies and iced fairy…

Madhur Jaffrey’s Zucchini Raita – Eastern Vegetarian Cooking
This raita is from one of my ancient, falling apart cookbooks, Madhur Jaffrey’s Eastern Vegetarian Cooking, where it goes by the name courgettes in yoghurt. In our house it’s called zucchini raita. Jaffrey claims she eats it by the spoonful by itself and this I can believe. It’s a mellow, mildly spiced raita that’s extremely…

Velvety Orange, Yoghurt, and Cardamom Cake with Cream Cheese Icing
This would have to be one of the easiest cakes in the world to make. It’s simple enough to whip up for an afternoon tea but spectacular enough to shape shift into a celebration cake. The lightly sweetened cream cheese icing and chopped pistachios give a slight, savoury contrast to the sweetness of the cake. This…

Tomato Ginger Yogurt Hard-Boiled Egg Curry Recipe
I don’t make egg curry often and when I do, it’s often one of those ‘the cupboard is bare‘ meals, so I don’t like to get too fancy with it. This egg curry is adapted from Karen Martini and it’s one of those recipes that can be pared back to use the ingredients you have…

Middle-Eastern Vegetarian Eggplant ‘Cordon Bleu’ Recipe with Haloumi and Mint
Years ago, whenever I had a dinner party, one of my standards was (depending on the season) crumbed eggplant slices or cauliflower florets, fried in olive oil and served with a garlic yoghurt sauce. They were always a hit because, seriously, who can resist anything that is both crumbed and fried. When you add some…

Tzatziki and Fried Zucchini/Eggplant Fritters | Greek Inspired Recipes
I’ve been having a bit of a born-again appreciation of tzatziki recently, which may be explained by the fact that I came back from my holiday to find two almost full large tubs of Greek yoghurt that needed to be used up immediately. Tzatziki is an excellent way to use up copious amounts of yoghurt…
