Some recipes need to be shared, and after I made this twice in one week, I decided that the dish had spoken! When I saw this recipe in Delicious magazine from Elly Pear’s new book, I decided immediately that it was dinner tonight. I very rarely do that, but it... Read More
I am waiting to see whether I have permission to share the recipe, but in the meantime, I wanted to write about this beautiful dish anyway. I was recently asked to teach ‘Lamb-stuffed Quince with Pomegranate and Coriander’ from the book Jerusalem by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi as part of... Read More
