Add the Halloumi, broccoli and pumpkin seeds to the tray, toss everything together, so it is all coated in the orangy spiced oil, then put under the grill for 10 minutes, until the Halloumi is golden, the broccoli spears are softened and the florets are crisp. You do need a food processor for many of the recipes, plus a range of fairly common spices like cumin and fennel seeds, and occasionally more unusual ingredients like kimchi, togarashi seasoning and pomegranate mollases.

Strain the broth if you are serving straight away, or if you plan to eat this later cool with the vegetables left in for a more intense flavour, and strain before reheating. In a large non-stick frying pan or wok, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over a medium-high heat, then fry the pieces of tofu for 6-8 minutes, turning them every minute, until golden all over. I use an oat crème fraîche here (see recipe on page 308), but a dairy version or some thick Greek yogurt would work too for non-vegans. Add the cumin, coriander and mustard seeds and when the mustard seeds start to pop, stir in the ground turmeric and cardamom.It’s my favourite cake of the last couple of years, so I had to find a way to get it into this book.
