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.

Christmas Beetroot and Plum Chutney
We’ve just harvested a stack of plums from our tree, although the birds got most of them while we were away. We had several large beetroot in the fridge so I did an internet search on beetroot and plum chutney recipes. I collected up four recipes, only two of which had plums in them. The…
