Recipe for Orange Salad with Dates, Chillies and Preserved Lemon from The Levantine Table by Ghillie Basan

Cookbook review by Tracey Zabar

This book is filled with recipes for Middle Eastern food, perfect for summer meals. The salad is a refreshing start to dinner—I served the chillies on the side. Next on my list: a carrot and caraway purée with yoghurt; a pide bread, sprinkled with nigella seeds; a lovely poached fish with saffron rice and caviar; and for dessert, an interesting rice pudding.
