There has been much Ottolenghi action since payday when I bought “Jerusalem”. Oh my goodness what a book. Everything in it looks utterly divine and I’m cooking my way through it.
I really loved Pan-fried Mackerel with Beetroot and Orange Salsa but my photo of it was rotten.
Mr Shoulder came round for dinner one night and I made Chicken with Caramalised Onion and Cardamon Rice but forgot to take a photo. I did however get one of the Baby Spinach Salad with Dates & Almonds:

Poached Chicken With Sweet Spiced Freekeh
Na’ama’s Fattoush
Set Yoghurt Pudding
