Now its time to come clean. I have been badly neglecting my blog recently. 

What with being bogged down with final year assignments and examinations, filling in applications for graduate jobs and zooming all over the country to visit my loved ones, I haven't done a happiness list in FOREVER. 

It is no secret that I am a massive middle eastern cuisine fan. Unfortunately, I have never been to any of the places where the dishes I love originate, therefore, my understanding of the dishes is based purely on recipes and restaurants I have visited in the UK (and a few dotted around Europe!).

My favourite part of Lebanese/Moroccan cuisine is mezze. I love picking and choosing what to eat, having a little bit of everything and sharing with all your friends and family. At which point I come to my tabbouleh. A fresh herby salad which pairs perfectly with an array of vegetarian and meat mezze dishes, and is perfect served with a dollop of hummus on top.
