Sabrina Ghayour

Bazaar is a colourful, flavourful, and satisfying celebration of vegetable dishes, designed to suit every occasion and every palate. The magic of this cookbook is that you won’t feel like anything is missing, with dishes full of easy-to-achieve flavours and depth that would win over even the most die-hard carnivore.

Each recipe utilizes the abundance of varied flavour profiles of the East: from spices, herbs, and perfumed aromatics, to hearty staples such as grains and pulses, combined with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables. You will find salads for all seasons, spectacular sides, bowl comfort, moreish mains, and sweet treats. Recipes include: Grilled halloumi flatbreads with preserved lemon & barberry salsa; roasted tomato & chilli soup with herb-fried croutons; roast vegetable bastilla; grilled tofu salad with tamarind & miso dressing; potato, ricotta & herb dumplings with walnuts & pul biber butter; feta, pul biber & oregano macaroni bake; and courgette, orange & almond cake with sweet yogurt frosting.
