Lemon & yoghurt mini loaves with yoghurt icing
Here we go again! Its ‘back to school/work’ time and rather than scrambling to find good quality & healthy store-bought snacks to throw in the lunch box - try making these super simple, nutrient dense and DELICIOUS lemon yoghurt mini loafs with yoghurt icing. They freeze perfectly so you can make big batches to keep on hand for play dates and birthday parties.
Oven-baked chicken shawarma
This prep-ahead Chicken ‘Shawarma’ is the perfect batch meal as you can quickly cover the chicken in the marinade and then pop in the fridge or freezer to get out to cook in a jiffy on a busy night.

This pretty little recipe by Fatimah Omran is one she made for her family during Ramadan when she got sick of eating dates, but also wanted to use the excess she had in her house.
So rich and nutrient-dense - you only really need a little bit to hit the spot with your morning coffee or afternoon cuppa.
Lebanese-inspired bean salad
I’ve been making ‘Dense Bean Salads’ since well before the lovely Violet Witchel coined the term (they’re now a viral Tik Tok trend).

Lamb kofta with whipped feta & yoghurt dip
These kofta are fabulous entertaining food as they’re easy to whip up in advance and great for a crowd. Punchy middle-Eastern flavours that you can dial up or down depending on your guests, which pairs beautifully with the whipped feta situation for creaminess and zest.

Raw broccolini & herb salad with cannellini beans
Young sprouting broccoli shines in this recipe where its finely chopped and tossed with with lots of nuts, seeds, herbs, parmesan cheese, beans and pickled bits like olives & jalapeños.
You can just feel this salad doing your insides good as you eat it - there’s no wonder its one of my most popular recipes to date.
