Pickled cauliflower, butterbean purée, charred lettuce, and za'atar flatbread - #nom! I wouldn't have understood this at all a few years ago, but these flavours are fabulous. Inspired by Bubala restaurant I guess. #vegetarian #kitchendiary

Today's dish is "nisk", a Kurdish lentil soup. An easy recipe, that a Kurdish refugee in Britain taught to my mum. #vegan #kitchendiary

Recipe development: Haggis flatbread... Been keen to try this for a while. First attempt was unanimously declared "not bad"! #vegetarian #haggis #kitchendiary

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

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 carrot and/or sundried tomato, a sprinkle of sugar, a pinch of salt, and a drip of oil (I used linseed oil). ... Served with leftover roast potatoes, of course ;) #nom #vegetarian #kitchendiary

Pearl barley risotto with roast squash and olive-herb. #nom! Olive-herb is new to me, curious flavour, paired well here. #kitchendiary #vegan
