Tarator with Radish & Tiger Prawns
This dish comes from the wonderful Gourmet Traveller, filled with fancy delights and delicacies. I rarely cook from the Gourmet Traveller because the writers have little eye for expense, and recipes often include rare and costly ingredients, or laborious times in the kitchen. This fresh and decidedly summery recipe, thankfully, is so easy to make you could have it ready to serve within 15 minutes, if the ingredients are chilled. Tarator is a cold soup of Middle Eastern origins. My family turns their nose up at the idea of cold soup, but i think this one won them over. I mean, it's almost tzatziki!
On a side note, i'm loving dill at the moment!

Middle Eastern Lemon & Chickpea Soup
In the search for my weekly soup to cook and take to work, i seem to be making soups of less and less ingredients! This one is very simply flavored, with the impact of the lemon zest and juice taking it to a different level. The spinach is integral in filling out the dish and providing a textural difference.
