Roast Cauliflower & Spiced Honey Carrots with Whipped Hummus
By admin 2 Comments
I sometimes say “This dish is going on the Cafe Menu” – which means that if I were ever to start a cafe, this dish would be on the menu. I’ve gathered together three of Yotam Ottolenghi’s ideas and added a bit.
Serves 2 people.

I used Desiree potatoes. Place the potato slices in a bowl of clean water. Swirl them gently to separate them, then leave for…
Coconut Lime Friand & Passionfruit Semi-Freddo
Last night’s dessert. Passionfruit semi-freddo from a Masterchef contestant – recipe here. (Yes the semifreddo is melting in the photo!) Lime and Coconut Friand – recipe here.
