Neeps and Tatties (6)

Kejriwal (2)

This is a recipe for cheese on toast, Anglo- Indian style, courtesy of Dishoom. Good comfort food for brunch as the weather gets chillier. Of course you can use whatever bread you like, i recently made it with a sweet bread made by our local bakery to celebrate Mexican Day of the Dead.

Tahini Crunch Greens (2)

P1050217_edited-1This is adapted as a main dish for two from a recipe for “Sweet and Salty Tahini Crunch Greens” in Anna Jones’s brilliant cookbook ” A Modern Way to Eat” 2014. She suggests serving it as a side but i liked it on its own.Its a great way to incorporate kale into your diet but you can vary the vegetables according to the season. For people like me who are adopting an increasingly vegetarian diet her book is really inspiring. She lives locally to me too so i should not have too much difficulty sourcing any  more unusual ingredients.
