New Fav Recipe Book

One of my new favourite recipe books is Ottolenghi, which I purchased with my customer rewards from the University Bookstore. I was inspired to buy it by the Manley's but also it was in one of the weekend papers magazines.  



It is fabulous! So far I have made:
  • Fried scallops with saffron potatoes, asparagus and samphire - Really nice
  • Roast chicken with saffron, hazelnuts and honey - REALLY AMAZING
  • Roast chicken with sumac, za'atar and lemon
  • French beans and mangetout with hazelnut and orange
  • Pistachio shortbreads - Needed more sugar (I made it with 2 x Icing Sugar, Corn flour instead of Rice flour and 1 - 2 Teaspoons of Vanilla Bean Paste and it was beautiful. The cardamon makes it that little bit different)
  • Cauliflower and cumin fritters with lime youghurt - Nice

    My second attempt at the shortbread was down to this within 24hrs of being in the cookie jar!

And the sweet recipes which are on the "too make list over the next month" are below:
Pistachio and Rosewater Meringues
White Chocolate and Cranberry Biscuits
Blueberry Crumble Muffins

Witcoulus and Borders do not stock it, therefore perhaps buy it off line or at More Wilsons. However I will share a picture and recipe or two with you next time I make something.
