Chargrilled asparagus, courgettes and halloumi / Salada de espargos, courgette e queijo halloumi grelhados.

First published in 2008 "Ottolenghi: The Cookbook" was now re-launched.

As I have all the other Ottolenghi books (Jerusalem, Plenty, Plenty More and Nopi) but didn't have this one, I thought it would be a great opportunity to get it and that's what I did.

The book covers everything from meat and fish, to salads and vegetables, cakes and breads.
This fabulous vegetarian salad was my first choice and it's a perfect meal for a meatless Monday so, give it a try and you'll not regret it.

Coconut curried chickpeas with wilted spinach / Caril de Grão de bico com leite de coco e espinafres.

A perfect meal for a "meatless Monday"!!

I made this curry for Saturday lunch and I don't have to tell you how simple an delicious it is!!

As I told you already a thousand times, I love cooking from Emilie Raffa "The Clever Cookbook" and, I promise, I'm not going to repeat myself.

Just check here, all the recipes that I already cooked from this book and it will be easy for you to conclude by yourselves, how fabulous and easy to make, Emilie's suggestions are.

As I wrote above, this was our lunch last Saturday and although the poached egg was not part of Emilie's recipe, I decided to serve the curry with a poached egg on top as, I think, an egg, specially if it's perfectly poached, makes everything better...
