Tomato Rice by @coconutlagoon_joe from Coconut Lagoon: popped mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chillies, a thick tomato base, then fluffy rice folded through. Tangy, savoury, with crispy onions and fresh cilantro to finish.

Potatoes and Sumac Salad by @hettymckinnon from Linger: tender cubes tossed warm with lemon, herbs, scallions, chilli flakes, and sumac. Soft, zingy, herb-packed, and quietly addictive. A salad that eats like comfort.

Cabbage Thoran from Coconut Lagoon by @coconutlagoon_joe. Grated cabbage and carrot, turmeric, coconut oil tempering with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and urad dal, finished with fresh coconut. Soft, fragrant, and quietly impressive.

Tried something different for Christmas cookies this year.
These Date & Nigella Seed Rolls (Makrouta) from Boustany by @sami_tamimi are softly spiced, buttery, and filled with smooth dates. Semolina crumb, crisp edges, quiet warmth in every bite. #FestiveBakes #CookbookCooking #DateDesserts #food 🍜🍽️

Still cooking from @the.rachel.riggs’ In Good Health—this Creamy Carrot Tahini is smooth, tangy, and wildly snackable. Mine came out yellow, not orange (tahini drama?), but flavour wins every time.
