Baba Ganoush is a wonderful smoky aubergine dip from the Middle East - it blows the socks off hummus. I love it with grilled pitta breads but often struggle to find the time to make it, that is until I discovered this new aubergine puree. I have to admit that I was slightly sceptical that a jarred aubergine may not have all the smoky and creamy flavours of home roasted aubergine - how wrong was I. This aubergine puree is utterly delicious and I was able to knock up this Levantine classic in minutes with a clove of garlic, a spoonful of tahini, parsley and a good drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

I’m not ashamed to admit that although I’m a foodie, I’m definitely not a cook! But this recipe is SO simple and SO delicious that even I’m prepared to open a couple of jars to make this superb alternative to houmous. Thank you Ben – delicious!

Paella also excellent. Unfortunately will be away for the

Cauliflower is such a great vegetable for delivering flavour with it's sweet nutty taste and firm texture, it's a perfect choice for when you want to be meat free. Roasting it with a light batter gives it a lovely crispy texture and allows you to layer up more flavour.
The tacos that you find on every Mexican street corner are often cooked really quickly - it's street food, you can't hang about. We have a recipe that will allow you to make really quick authentic tacos, that are so tasty, it will become your 'go to' meal.
