Shifta. . . vegan and free-from Shifta, not to be confused with Shifti (watermelon) is a traditionally Kurdish home cooked (and deep fried) food. Not often found in restaurants or as street-food, shifta are something you may not have come across – unless you are Kurdish, have Kurdish friends or Kurdish family! 😀 These little fritters are normally made from diced…
Mixed Mezes… Vegan and Free From Another very busy week with lots going on before half term starts (hooray 🙂 a week without early mornings!) 🙂 Something a little different today because people are getting ready for Halloween parties! Whilst not your traditional meringue ghosts and ghouls, witches fingers and pumpkin biscuits, these mezes are sure to go down a…

I have travelled quite extensively throughout Europe, Middle East and North Africa. In the latter two areas, food and eating out has never been a problem as there is always something traditional to try which just happens to be vegetarian. 🙂 One…
