I ate an amazing beetroot dip at a Lebanese restaurant a few months ago and since then have tried a few times to reproduce the sweet and zesty flavour. Yesterday's attempt was the closest yet and at last is good enough to share :-)

Born in the UK. Came to Spain on finishing Uni many many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. I don't usually have much time my recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal because I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. However sometimes, when I do have more time, I like to spend a few hours making more time-consuming recipes and filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music.
