We are eating Ottolenghi style so everything will come out as quickly as Alan can carry it!

Black bean and avocado salad with nachos - this dish has a mexican infleunce with a last minute squeeze of lime to make it zing.

Village tomato salad - A popular salad in Syria and Lebanon served with chunks of fresh bread to dip into the juices

Labneh dip - Homemade soft cheese with a tomato, mint salad dressed with a drizzle of olive oil and nigella seeds. (we have some vegan cheese to replace this dish).

Grilled chopped aubergine salad dip - a bit of a salad that thinks its a dip!

Vegetable Pahi- technically this is a dry Sri Lankan curry but my version is a bit more like a pickle. I serve it cold with lots of fresh bread to dunk into.

Roasted red onions with a walnut salsa - this dish has now become a firm favourite at our supperclub events.

In the UK we regularly eat hummus cold but in Arabic countries they eat it warm too so tonight we are going to roast a tray of root vegetables and serve them on a bed of warm humus and sprinkled with sunflower seeds for a bit of crunch.

Cauliflower and cumin fritter with lime yogurt - a bit like a pakora these little parcels of joy will make your heart sing, I bet you can't just have one. (roasted cauliflower for the vegans)


For dessert....


Sliced oranges served with an orange blossom, rose syrup - simple yet delicate you will be avoiding eye cotnact with other guests as you watch who takes the last slice.

Second Pudding TBC - if you have been to dinner before and had something thatyou want us to make again then get in touch.

Coffee served with a variety of after dinner mints. There is also Yorkshire tea, mint tea, green tea, liquorice tea, pomegranate and apple tea and decaf coffee if anyone wants one.
