W
hen you’re planning a
long lunch with
friends, you want food
to linger over. At this
time of year, when
soul-soothing
comfort food is called for, Turkish cuisine
may not seem an obvious contender, but
delicious falafel and tabouli will soon win
you over – with hearty mussaka only
confirming the wisdom of your choice. This
is a menu where you can buy some elements,
and enjoy making others. Sipping warm
apple tea is a calming ritual to end with –
and your cue to break into the baklava...Cleansing apple and mint tea
is both comforting and
pleasingly pretty on the table
