This past weekend, I was at a potluck and had one of the most delicious eggplant dishes that I had ever tried. I immediately had to ask where the recipe was from and lucky for me, it was sitting in Jerusalem, one of my favourite cookbooks. I couldn’t believe that I had overlooked the recipe, but when I found it in my book later that night, I wasn’t too surprised. It was one of the few recipes in his book without an accompanying picture. I am so drawn in by Ottolenghi’s gorgeous photographs that I can’t help but skim over those that are unlucky enough not to have a stunning, colourful, full page photograph right next to it. Either way, I knew I wanted to make the recipe as soon as possible but to make it a full meal, I decided to make eggplant and mango salad rolls for a little twist on a classic.

I tend to overlook recipes that doesn’t have photos in cookbooks too, but I have tried a few that didn’t and it is kind of nice, because sometimes when you try and make it as fancy as the photo and it kind of turns into something completely different you feel kind of meh! So sometimes it can be nice to just make it your own 🙂 These salad rolls sound wonderful! I love the combination of flavours here 😀 x
I never thought of it like that! That’s a really good point. I should try ones without photos more often (I basically never do)
