shorkk this week...

We're taking our Lebanese ingredients to Clem's Fair on Friday 19th & Saturday 20th April in Wiltshire.

It's our first time at the fair and we're delighted to be amongst a wonderful array of independent traders selling unique ceramics, jewellery and gifts.

shorkk gifts

for the discerning cook

If you're searching for a present for the cook in your life, how about shorkk essentials? In a be-ribboned bag, the three ingredients have iconic status in Lebanon. A stylish tin of Zejd's extra virgin olive oil adds peppery goodness drizzled over a simple dish of lentils.
shorkk essentials comprising sumac, za'atar and extra virgin olive oil with a gift bag.
Bassatin Baanoub's za'atar mix scattered on a piece of salmon is an easy way of achieving maximum flavour. Try seasoning fried eggs and roast potatoes with sumac, or even on a fruit salad for an interesting lemony kick.

only 8 left!

You won't find this on Amazon! Barbara Massaad's book of recipes from Lebanon with whimsical illustrations by Pascale Hares has brought joy to so many of our customers.
Mezze cook book by Barbara Massaad
We bought all our copies directly from Barbara and imported them ourselves from Lebanon (not as straightforward as we'd thought!). Sadly we only have 8 left, and won't be ordering in any more.

Stylish summer shopping tote, multitasking as a handbag, described by one of our customers as "my favourite tote".

The Tahaddi team who worked on our shorkk tote took immense pride in making sure this was a practical as well as a stand out tote. Learning how to sew has given them a pathway to a more economically independent life. We're delighted to be working with them again on a new project. Watch this space!

recipe idea for the week

lentils with saffron

Add a touch of colour with red onions and coriander to lentils with this lovely way of revitalising this nutritious pulse.

Zejd's saffron lends an interesting aroma, and the pool of extra virgin olive oil adds luxury to a healthy dish.
