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!

Bulgogi is one of the most famous dishes from Korea, it's seriously tasty. Made using thinly sliced strips of beef that are marinated in soy, garlic, ginger and sesame along with pureed fruit. Bulgogi is a pretty versatile dish, often stir-fried with onion and eaten simply with rice and a few garnishes, in a kind of bibimbap style.
