Falafel are deep-fried balls or patties of chickpea or broad beans, with added herbs, spices, onion and garlic and are widely eaten across the Middle East. While the style varies from region to region, they’re usually enjoyed in a wrap or pitta with salad, tahini, pickles and a spicy sauce. Long popular in Britain, particularly among immigrant communities, falafel are now a nationwide staple, and have swiftly become one of our most popular fast foods. It’s not hard to see why: they also fall into that wondrous overlapping category of being crave-worthy and satisfying, as well as nutritious and fairly low in fat. What’s more, they are a brilliant source of protein for those who don’t eat meat. They are rich in fibre and modern falafel are often made with added vegetables, nuts and seeds, lentils, or grains, as are many of the delicious recipes in this book. Try the Fennel & Lemon Scented Falafel or Juicy Brown Rice Faux-lafel. Find Crunchy Sesame Falafel or Falafel Croquettes or enjoy snacks such as tasty Mediterranean Seed Falafel, all packed with good stuff, and very low fat. Whip up a drizzle such as Home-made Tahini Sauce, as the perfect complement your hot, freshly cooked patties. Finally, make tangy quick pickles, crisp herby salads and easy flatbreads so you can serve your freshly cooked falafel with all the trimmings and enjoy it as its best.

’n Geslag jong volwassenes het Help! Daar’s ’n Stoof in My Kombuis, Annabel Frere se eerste kookboek, leer ken, is mal daaroor en afh anklik daarvan. Dieselfde geslag het die jong beroepslui geword wat nou op ’n ietwat meer gesofistikeerde vlak moet onthaal. As skrywer het Annabel al hierdie stadiums met haar eie dogters meegemaak, en sy het weer eens smaaklike en relatief eenvoudige resepte vir geleenthede saamgestel – van onbeplande samekomste tot goedgeorganiseerde geleenthede. Groot klem word op goeie beplanning gelê, asook kos wat vooraf berei kan word sodat die kok soveel tyd moontlik aan sy of haar gaste kan bestee, pleks daarvan om die dag in die kombuis deur te bring. Aandag word ook gegee aan tekstuur en aanbieding, met heelwat wenke en voorstelle oor moeitelose onthaal. Waar disse dalk meer ingewikkeld lyk, is Annabel uitstekend daarmee om die misterie te ontsluit. En natuurlik is geen partytjie volledig sonder die regte vloeibare begeleiding nie. Dus is daar ’n hoofstuk oor ’n verskeidenheid skemerkelkies, met en sonder alkohol.
