    | 1. Hot Spiced Cheese Goreme: | 2. In a non-reactive bowl combine the yoghurt, salt and spices. | 3. In a food processor purée the feta with the garlic and lemon juice then season with salt and pepper. Add the yoghurt and purée further while drizzling in olive oil until smooth. | 4. This can be made 24 hours ahead and kept refrigerated. | 5. Fattoush Salad: | 6. Syrian Toasted Bread Salad. | 7. Combine the cucumbers, tomatoes, spring onions and herbs. Leave to marinate at room temperature for 2 hours if possible. | 8. Combine the garlic and lemon juice in a small bowl then whisk in the olive oil. Stir this dressing into the salad and leave to macerate for 2 hours. | 9. Just before serving, stir the toasted pita into the salad. It should soak up the dressing. Serve immediately. | 10. Lamb Koftas: | 11. I like to make these smaller versions, rolled out to the length of my little finger. They are delicious drizzled with tahini and lemon juice, and sprinkled with fresh green chillies. | 12. Mix all the ingredients, except salt and pepper and garnishes, in a large bowl and set aside for a few hours to allow the flavours to develop. Season well and shape with wet hands. | 13. Grill the koftas, without oil, under a 180°C grill until the juice flows clear (8-10 minutes). Drain on paper towels before serving. | 14. Garnish with the chilli and coriander and serve a small bowl of the tahini on the side. | 15. Warm Roasted Olives with Preserved Lemons: | 16. In a heavy-based frying pan heat the oil gently then toss in the seeds and garlic. Add the olives to the pan with the thyme, harissa and preserved lemon. | 17. Roll the olives in the pan while the seeds pop and the garlic browns. | 18. When the olives start blistering remove from the heat. Finish with the chopped parsley and serve warm. | 19. To serve: | 20. Warm some flatbreads then brush with olive oil and serve with the mezze and bowls of chopped lettuce, chopped chillies, sumac, lemon juice and olive oil. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
