I honestly wish I’d thought of saag halloumi myself. One of the main issues with paneer is it’s blandness. Halloumi on the other hand is almost too flavoursome, bearing its brazen salinity. It seems a perfect candidate to temper all that salt with a bag of spinach and some sweet cherry tomatoes.

Simple is a contentious word, but this Turkish Pasta is both fairly simple to make and rewardingly rich. My favourite mix of low input to max output. A definite recommend. Recipe is available on foodism.com, or in Diana Henry’s Simple.

Where Doherty fries diced chorizo to give the butter it’s ruby hue, Nigella eschews the delicious meat in favour of browning the butter.
Enter Yotam Ottlenghi’s recipe for Burrata with chargrilled grapes and basil. If grapes are marinaded in vinegar and aromatics, grilled and served with cheese then, naturally, I’m all for it.
