A bowl of orange soup
Algerian harira - a smooth, spiced Mediterranean soup #vegetarian #kitchendiary
Oh it's an omelette, but so tantalising! Stuffed full of green herbs, plus a dollop of yogurt and a crimson streak of sumac to catch your eye
Kuku sabzi - love this Iranian omelette with such delicate flavours of herbs, walnut, cranberry and sumac! #nom #vegetarian #kitchendiary
A bowl of pain white something. With spring onions and curry leaves on top!
Kodo millet congee - this pure-tasting millet porridge is a great background on which to paint sharp flavours. Skirting onions, garlic, curry leaf, chilli. #kitchendiary #millet #vegan
Some nice dishes we cooked recently: aubergine lemon tagine, BBQ jackfruit, moussaka, baked halloumi with black seed honey glaze, African peanut stew (maafe), shepherd's pie, butterbean gratin, kuku sabzi, mushroom cobbler, jacket potato! #vegetarian #kitchendiary #happymemories

BBQ-style jackfruit and cashews, with coleslaw and flatbreads. #nom #vegetarian #kitchendiary
I added the coriander, instinctively, you might say. The simple yellow soup beneath it is the star attraction.
Today's dish is "nisk", a Kurdish lentil soup. An easy recipe, that a Kurdish refugee in Britain taught to my mum. #vegan #kitchendiary
Baked feta is amazing. Too easy for such a taste! (210C 10mins. That's the recipe.) Tonight we had it with roast sweet potato, chickpeas, & parsley = #nom. #vegetarian #kitchendiary #feta

Four balls of dough, and one batch of veggie haggis
Recipe development: Haggis flatbread... Been keen to try this for a while. First attempt was unanimously declared "not bad"! #vegetarian #haggis #kitchendiary
Now this is a lovely white plate with an elegant heap of levantine salad on it eh? You probably can't see the bottom layer of dark black garlic tahini, but you can see beetroot, dill, orange segments, toasted bread...
Beetroot fattoush - tried this from the new "Bubala" recipe book, and it's great. (Salt-baking beetroot seems futile - next time, just use a pack of pre-cooked!). #nom #vegan #kitchendiary
Well I don't know, what do I even see here? An incomprehensible swamp of eggs, dill and chilli, on a plate
Turkish eggs (çilbīr) - very nice brunch. It's quite a faff to prepare at home, so I think I might save it for eating out! #kitchendiary #breakfast
A dish of tempting-looking brown blobules!
Pakora of cauliflower, kale, and pomegranate seeds (oven-baked). #vegan #kitchendiary #pakora
Kaiserschmarrn looks like big fat chunks of chopped up pancake, since that's what it is! Glowing in the winter sunshine
Our first attempt at kaiserschmarrn is... a mess! #kitchendiary

We had leftover seroendang (...which is toasted grated coconut & peanut, a la Indonesia). Great idea: sprinkle it over hot grilled pineapple! Served with a dash of oat cream. #nom invention. #kitchendiary

Love to make my very fancy "Vancouver kale salad" (inspired by a meal in Vancouver years ago): cavolo nero (or #kale) in big slices, dry-stir-fried 2 mins with walnuts (or pecans). Also slow-fry chickpeas (not too oily please). Then simply toss with dried cherries, a chopped date, a finely diced […]

Peach & cucumber salad inspired by a great one we had in Warsaw - with fennel, mint leaves, dill, and a crumb of almond flakes and nooch. The peaches and cucumber in big chunky pieces. Very refreshing. #kitchendiary #vegan

Enjoying these Palestinian recipes from Sami Tamimi. Already enjoyed the shakshouka-like audergine+bean dish; next comes the "ijeh" (which looks to me like an Indian/persian kuku sabzi! i.e. a frittata) […]
It's a dish of stew, topped with dill, pomegranate seeds, and fried onion, making it tantalisingly colourful
Yum! Excited again to be having rumaniyya (Gaza aubergine and lentil stew) #vegan #kitchendiary #gaza #levantine
