Inspired by a recent brunch at Urban Angel on Hanover Street in Edinburgh, this recipe has become a slight obsession. Perfect for brunch, lunch or a light dinner, it is a healthy dish full of texture and some of my favourite flavours. It’s also super easy to pull together last minute and chances are you will have most of the ingredients in your cupboard already.

For a special roast, why not try my recipe for this summery dish. I love any meal which involves lots of different dishes for everyone to dig in to. The flavours and textures here work really well together and the best part is, each component part can be made ahead which makes for easy entertaining when feeding a crowd. Just delicious.

Meat-free, healthy, delicious, and full of some of my favourite Greek flavours, this halloumi dish is a knockout. I love halloumi and by marinading it in a mixture of za’atar, garlic, lemon and finishing it in the pan with a drizzle of honey, you will not be able to resist it.

A refreshing watermelon and feta salad with some mouth-wateringly succulent marinaded chicken thighs. I love the addition of fruit in salads, and the crisp, sweet juiciness of watermelon chunks with salty crumbled feta, kalamata olives and a light lemon, balsamic and honey dressing is hard to beat.

With this dish I tried to combine some of my favourite Middle Eastern flavours. These are up there with some of the best meatballs I’ve ever made - the crunch from the pistachios, saltiness from the feta, freshness from the herbs and sweet, sticky glaze from the pomegranate molasses made them completely moreish. With a refreshing tomato and olive sumac salad, bulgur wheat tabbouleh, tzatziki and homemade flatbreads to mop up all the deliciousness, this is my favourite type of food.
