The things is, with a Sabrina book you just know that the recipes will be unfussily do-able, exuberantly flavoured, and blessedly reliable. On top of which, her books are infused with her warmth, greedy impatience (and that’s a compliment in my book!) and generosity. She writes recipes that allow both beginners and more experienced cooks to create joyful food without stress, because she properly understands what is manageable within a busy life. This, her sixth book, does the same — only more so! It’s geared towards those times when shortcuts are needed, when the daily business of life doesn’t allow for protracted sessions in the kitchen, but meals need to be got on the table promptly and still give pleasure. Not that many of the recipes in Persiana Everyday couldn’t be part of the loveliest entertaining menus, too. Just to name three, let me draw your attention to her Baked Halloumi with Lemon, Thyme and Honey; Fennel, Feta, Orange & Pistachio Salad; and the beautiful Rhubarb, Rose & Pistachio Trifle Pots. Accompaniments: Harissa, lemongrass & lime leaf rice; Lemon & herb rice; Fenugreek & ginger rice; Fennel, feta, orange & pistachio salad

These are soooooo good! I could have eaten about ten more - they’re a good size and we paired them with some salad and flatbread. I just could have eaten them all because they’re so lovely.

My go-to cookbook this year, full of easy recipes made with accessible things producing wildly successful dishes' - Rev Richard Coles I was surprised how good this was for a salad with so few ingredients. Letting the salad sit in the dressing for 45 minutes really helped develop the flavors. I Served it with the sesame spice salmon recipe in the same cookbook. Accompaniments: Pork, coriander & spring onion meatballs with tamarind glaze; Sesame & spice roasted salmonMixed together The Rose harissa pomegranate molasses honey and a generous amount of salt in a small bowl.
