Sumac, Dukkah and Za'atar

We're having Lebanese food tonight thanks to @spicedpantry - here's a peek!

After yesterday's humongous festive feast, I'm craving green & delicious... Sesame-roasted crispy kalettes with Za-atar, chilli & soy is hitting the mark (alongside the leftovers naturally!) If you can't get your mittens on kalettes, regular kale works just as well! Ceramics made by yours truly!

In honour of The Gathering Table I’ve penned more insight along with this market salad on The Botanical Kitchen. It was named so for simplicity sake. A more thorough version might have read; quinoa salad with fresh leaves, dates, pistachio and pomegranate, dukkah rolled labneh, turmeric, honey and chilli roasted walnuts and a Moroccan inspired dressing - but who really wants to tout a description like that. It’s sweet, tart, creamy and warm - all the good things really and perfect for your own gathering at the table.

Now up on the blog! A wonderfully spice-laden and vibrant salad of parsley, feta and farro, courtesy of my favourite gourmet dream team, @ottolenghi and @sami_tamimi. It's been adapted slightly from the original recipe found in their book 'Jeruselum', and is akin to a sophisticated version of tabbouleh, with punchy notes of za'atar, cumin and lemon. Wholesome but fresh - perfect for this scorching weather! ______________________________________________ #ottolenghi #samitamimi #vegetarian #wholesome #seekthesimplicity #slowliving #foodstyling #foodphotography #foodgasm #foodforfoodies #foodblogfeed #huffposttaste #feedfeedprops #feedfeed #livefolk #f52grams #food52 #tasteintravel #instafood #makeitdelicious #perthcreative #perthblogger #perthfoodie #perthphotographer #perthphotography #urbanlistperth #foragedphotography

Za'atar Spiced Cauliflower "Bagels" are up on DUTD today. Perfect with a smear of good quality butter hot out of the oven! Link in profile.

This early morning I made fluffy red quinoa mixed with dried berries,apricots, frozen strawberry ; almonds,pistachios and rose petals with light and mild olive oil, lemon juice, sumac, grated nutmeg, black pepper corns and smoked salt dressing...washed it all down with fresh turmeric, ginger, limes , mint leaves and raw honey juice... just the kind of breakfast to offset yesterday indulgence at the restaurant office Christmas lunch..

Warming Celeriac Apple Kale Soup with Walnut Dukkah to ease into January. I can't really do cold drinks in winter, I love to have a bowl of soup a day instead. I was inspired to make some dukkah this week and I'm so glad I did. The flavours are just amazing and it's so yummy sprinkled on top of the soup Have a lovely evening everyone! Much Love

Cauliflower & Za'atar Soup with Crispy Kale Chips. This simple farm to table soup is on DUTD this evening. It's absolutely delicious and a breeze to whip up. Cheers!

cinnamon roasted pumpkin, tahini yogurt + hazelnut dukkah. just a few of my favorite things for the big bah!

Can't believe it's the end of August already still going to keep eating all my favorite summer foods, including tomatoes atop crostini with za'atar and labneh.
