have tried

The bookshop I work at hosted Greg & Lucy Malouf at an event tonight and when hosting an author, we always prepare some dishes from their latest book. These breads were so delicious - a yeasted dough flavoured with turmeric and filled with a paste of chopped dates and some butter. The pastries were then sprinkled with cumin seeds before being baked. They were so good - a tiny bit sweet, some richness from the date and butter and then a lovely savoury, spicy hit from the cumin. In the book they are made into heart shapes which we did too and they were really gorgeous.

That sounds wonderful I'll have to look for the book.

I'm going to second that - sounds amazing.

Just bought the book Kate, can't wait to try a few things. It's beautiful. Thanks for the heads up.

Fantastic! I look forward to hearing about the recipes you try.

Aww sounds fantastic! I love all of Greg Malouf's books. Another one to add to my now out-of-control "wishlist"! Merry Christmas all xx
