My recipe for labneh - also known as yogurt cheese - is a cross between a thick fromage frais and fromage blanc. It is of Lebanese origin and very simple to make. It is simply yogurt strained with a bit of salt to remove the whey - delicious.

So easy. So delicious. Homemade hummus. Simple, huh?

These Middle Eastern-flavoured, sweet, spiced butternut squash pickles will be at home on a cheese or charcuterie platter at any Thanksgiving/ Sukkot table.

You will wonder how so few ingredients can possibly taste this good! A recipe for a smoky, garlicky, tangy, savoury, creamy dip that goes well with a huge range of dishes. Also, long-term preservation of aubergine in the freezer and its many uses.
