Readers Recipe Swap

As a committed fan of the squeaky Greek-Cypriot cheese, I was inclined to judge every recipe the winner, so I enlisted some friends to help out and cooked up a big halloumi-based feast ... First up, a rhubarb, fennel, pomegranate and halloumi salad from Angela Kim. This was salty, sweet and sharp, the taste and texture changing with each bite. The halloumi layered scones from Miriam Bullock went down a treat – and were perfect the next day with a bowl of tomato soup. The broccoli and halloumi salad from Karen Austin made for an excellent packed lunch: one of the few things that will be better after a few hours in the office fridge. And it’s fair to say TwinnyDip’s halloumi focaccia sandwiches will have people clamouring for the veggie option at any barbecue this summer; if you make this dish, you’ll be glad of the leftover sweet and smoky butternut muhammara.

Top of the list, though, was Colleen Rogers’ Turkish dish. Cook once, make four meals with roast chicken. Nothing provides more quick-fix dinner solutions than a roast chicken.

Choc waves: Yotam Ottolenghi’s chocolate recipes

Take chocolate, which has a remarkable ability to pair with just about anything: from almond to anise, banana to bacon, cardamom to cauliflower; you could go through the entire alphabet and back again without running out of complementary ingredients. It’s far easier to come up with 40 ways with chocolate than to do the 40 days without that many people recently endured for Lent.

The sheer range of chocolate bars on offer these days – whether the 60p one from the corner shop or the luxury block that dazzles with an on-trend flavour combination and high-percentage cocoa solids – combined with the rise of the artisan chocolatier, might all seem rather 2015-ish, but what goes around, comes around. The dedication of entire cafes, patisseries, even restaurants to chocolate is a very old tradition. Tzatziki With Spiced Chicken Skewers Recipe - Taste.com.au. BBC - Food - Recipes : Coq au vin.
