I’ve made this beautiful winter salad for years now and it’s a true favourite. The caramelised veggies are deliciously sticky and sweet, making them a perfect side to a Roast Chicken. The feta, whipped with orange, is basically a quicker version of labne, adding creamy, tangy contrast that really lifts the dish. It all comes together on one platter, finished with a sprinkle of crunchy hazelnuts for texture.

I love figs. I love olives, and always have a good supply of both on hand.

During a recent (child-free!) holiday to Singapore we were lucky enough to eat out most nights. One evening our friend Ollie took us to a fabulous Japanese eatery the Neon Pigeon where we ordered the silkiest hummus made with edamame beans.
